Unresolved UAP Report, Iraq, 2022

A companion CENTCOM infrared still image to DOW-UAP-PR130, also accompanying Mission Report DOW-UAP-D106: two areas of contrast are visible, one near the display center and one in the top third of the frame with an elongated, trailing appearance suggesting motion. As with PR130, the government's own description attributes the trailing feature to possible image-compression effects rather than a confirmed physical object feature. The extracted PDF text contains only classification-marking fragments ('1.4a, 1.4g').

Why this rating Same reasoning as the paired PR130: single still image, single sensor, and the releasing agency's own description offers a non-anomalous explanation for the trailing feature.

  DOW-UAP-PR130, still image, Iraq, 2022

  A CENTCOM-submitted infrared still image accompanying Mission Report DOW-UAP-D106, showing two areas of contrast: one near the display's center reticle, and one in the lower third of the frame that appears elongated with a trailing streak suggesting motion. The government's own image description explicitly notes the trailing-streak feature is 'consistent with known image-compression and processing effects and does not necessarily represent a physical feature.' No text could be extracted from the PDF itself.

  DOW-UAP-D106, Mission Report, Iraq, 2022

  A heavily redacted U.S. Air Force Mission Report (MISREP) from a reconnaissance sortie under Operation Inherent Resolve, documenting UAPs 'flying sporadically' within the target area at estimated speeds of 80-180 mph and an estimated size of 1-2 meters; altitude could not be determined. The report states the UAPs did not hinder the mission. This report accompanies still images DOW-UAP-PR130 and DOW-UAP-PR131 (both in this batch).

  The government's own image description again attributes the apparent motion trail to possible compression artifacts rather than confirming it as a physical feature.
