DOW-UAP-D054, Mission Report, Mediterranean Sea, NA
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-D054 is a Military Mission Report (MISREP) produced by the Department of War, released on May 8, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident occurred over the Mediterranean Sea at coordinates 36°34'53"N, 025°59'43"E. A U.S. military operator, whose identity is redacted, reported observing one UAP during a return-to-base transit at 1319Z. The object was described as triangular and metallic, estimated at approximately 24,989 feet MSL altitude and traveling at 168 knots (193 mph).
The document is heavily redacted under classification exemption 1.4(a), with six of seven pages consisting solely of that citation and no recoverable text. The reporter's identity, platform type, mission context, and any sensor data are entirely withheld. The GENTEXT section provides the only substantive content. The altitude and speed estimates fall within ranges consistent with conventional aircraft, though the triangular, metallic description and reporting context place it within AARO's UAP intake process. No sensor corroboration or follow-up reporting is visible in the release.

This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report.
