In November 2023, a U.S. aircraft flew a long full-motion video and signals-intelligence collection mission over Syria, moving between tasking areas for close to a full day.

According to the declassified USCENTCOM mission report (Misrep 9381202), at 2153 Zulu the crew logged, in the military's own words, an 'unidentified aerial phenomenon.'

The report points to a description — 'UAP 1' — but that entry, along with the launch base, the crew's unit, and the exact coordinates, is redacted under national-security exemption 1.4a.

Notably, the report does not hedge with the word 'possible.' It records an unidentified aerial phenomenon, observed and recorded on full-motion video — then withholds what it showed.

Below is the declassified page, redactions preserved.

## Full Transcript

In its own words, this military report doesn't say 'possible.' It says the crew observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon — over Syria, at night.

November 2023. A U.S. aircraft was flying full-motion video and signals-intelligence collection over Syria, working between tasking areas for nearly a full day.

Then, at 21:53 Zulu, the log records it: observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon. The report points to the description, 'UAP 1' — and that entry is blacked out.

This is the declassified USCENTCOM report. The launch base, the crew's unit, the coordinates, and the object's description are all redacted under national-security exemption 1.4a.
