What was reported
4 minutes 58 seconds of infrared video from a U.S. military platform over the Middle East, paired with mission report DOW-UAP-D107. The mission report describes a UAP that 'looked like a white round orbit,' tracked for a redacted duration, 'moving as fast as 500MPH,' observed 29 October 2025 during a USCENTCOM ISR mission supporting counter-smuggling and counter-ISIS operations. The blurb text itself misstates the year as 2024, contradicted by the manifest, title, and the paired document.

Why this rating A specific numeric speed claim (500 MPH) and shape description from a firsthand sensor operator, tracked for nearly 5 minutes on infrared with an auto-tracking reticle, and no conventional explanation offered in the mission report; still a single sensor type with no independent corroboration, and the object is repeatedly lost and reacquired.

DOW-UAP-PR133, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025
Open the original on dvidshub.netDOW-UAP-D107, Mission Report, Middle East, 2025
A heavily redacted U.S. Air Force Mission Report under Operation Inherent Resolve describing a brief UAP sighting on 29 October 2025 at an estimated altitude of ~22,500 feet: the operator described it as looking like a 'white round orbit' moving as fast as 500 mph before it was lost. Nearly every identifying field (unit, aircraft, exact location, times beyond the narrative) is redacted; the structured 'UAP' data block records the object as solid, unknown propulsion, no reported effects on persons or equipment. This report accompanies video DOW-UAP-PR133 (not in this batch).
