Summary

A U.S. military Mission Report (MISREP) noting the observation of one UAP over the Strait of Hormuz at an estimated altitude of 1,800 feet.

Detail

This Mission Report (MISREP) is a standardized U.S. military form used to record the circumstances of operations and is frequently used to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. Its general text (GENTEXT) section typically holds the qualitative context that complements the numerical data elsewhere in the report.

A U.S. military operator reported observing a single UAP over the Strait of Hormuz at an estimated altitude of 1,800 feet. The descriptive language reflects the operator's subjective interpretation at the time and is not a conclusive statement about the object's characteristics. The record was released by the Department of War through the PURSUE declassification.
