The SIGINT Mission That Logged a UAP Mid-Collection
2026-08-19 · Declassified UAP records
At 15:14 Zulu, during a classified signals-intelligence collection over a U.S. operating area in the Middle East, a U.S. crew logged a single UAP.
It was May 2022, during Operation Inherent Resolve. The declassified USCENTCOM mission report confirms the sighting — one UAP — but the section meant to describe it, the Mission Narrative, was released completely blank.
The page is heavily redacted: the launch base, the operating area, the crew's unit, and the entire observation are blocked under national-security exemption 1.4a.
The report records when the crew took off, when they began collecting signals, and when they saw the UAP — but what they observed, and what they did about it, stays hidden.
Below is the declassified page, redactions preserved.

Full Transcript
At 15:14 Zulu, in the middle of a classified signals-intelligence collection, a U.S. crew logged one UAP — a single line, dropped into the mission timeline during target development.
It was May 2022, over a U.S. operating area, during Operation Inherent Resolve. The report confirms it — one UAP — but the section meant to describe it, the Mission Narrative, was released completely blank.
This is the declassified mission report, released through AARO. The page is scarred with redactions: the launch base, the operating area, the crew's unit, and the entire observation — all blocked under exemption 1.4a, national security.
The report tells us when the crew took off, when they started collecting signals, and when they saw the UAP. But what they actually observed — and what they did about it — stays hidden.
