Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023
- Date
- 27 Oct 2023
- Place
- Greece (35S grid, over ocean water, AFSOC platform out of Larissa)
- Record
- Pentagon file
- Assessment
- Not assessed
- Evidence strength
What was reported
Two minutes 57 seconds of infrared video, paired with mission report DOW-UAP-D033. The MISREP's UAP entry describes a seemingly circular object, too small to resolve detail, flying just above the ocean surface and making multiple sharp 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 mph before the aircrew lost the track; physical state logged as 'Solid', assessed benign.
What officials concluded
Unresolved
Aircrew's structured fields record it as solid, benign, propulsion means and signatures unknown; no identification offered beyond behavioral description.

Why this rating Single infrared sensor, small unresolved shape, estimated (not measured) 80 mph speed with sharp turns, within the performance envelope of birds, small drones, or surface effects on water, and the object was lost against ocean clutter rather than tracked to a clear outcome.

What the file claims
- Unverified
The object was seemingly circular but too small in the frame to resolve further detail, and made multiple sharp 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 mph just above the ocean before being lost.
- Unverified
The public video description notes the sensor's own tracking lock is lost against the ocean background and the system cycles zoom/contrast settings without reacquiring, rather than confirming the object itself vanished.
