Detail
This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized form the U.S. military uses to record the circumstances of its operations. Such reports are commonly used to relay Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) observations to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), with the general-text (GENTEXT) section providing qualitative, contextual information.
According to the report, a U.S. military operator observed a UAP traveling at an estimated 321 knots (369 mph). The observer stated that the object "increased speed and changed direction towards the east." All descriptive and estimative language reflects the reporter's subjective interpretation at the time and should not be taken as conclusive evidence of any intrinsic features or performance.
The record was released to the public through the PURSUE declassification by the Department of War.
