The Department of War's PURSUE Release 01 identifies DOW-UAP-D32 as a PDF mission report tied to a Syria incident dated October 20, 2024. The release metadata pairs this document entry with PR-31, a five-second DVIDS video from an FMV camera aboard a U.S. military platform.123
Declassified Syria MISREP
The record is a USCENTCOM MISREP marked "SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY" and later declassified by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, on October 24, 2025. Its footer identifies the matter as USCENTCOM MDR 25-0100 thru 25-0103 / JS-250710-TM8S and notes approval for release to AARO.2
Administrative fields place the report under Operation Inherent Resolve, in the air domain, with USCENTCOM as the combatant command, AFSOC as major command, the 609th operations center, and 12 SOS as originator. The report type is MISREP, with Air Force service tasked.2
October ISR Sortie
The narrative describes an ISR mission launched from OJMS at 0823Z on October 20, 2024, then returning to OJMS after an off-station time of 0124Z and landing at 0447Z on October 21. The report totals 20 hours 24 minutes of mission time, 14 hours 22 minutes of FMV time, 13 hours 2 minutes of SIGINT time, and three FMV/SIGINT taskings.2
The first tasking began on station at 1102Z with FMV as primary sensor and SANTA FE listed among available sensors. The second, a dynamic target-development tasking, began at 1230Z and is the segment where the UAP entry appears; the third began at 2318Z and continued until return to base.2
FMV Light Crossings
The UAP form records initial contact at 1559Z on October 20, 2024, during the second ISR period. It describes a light or glare of unknown origin crossing the FMV camera feed, with no reported change in response to observer actions, no sensor interrogation, no observer engagement, no effects on persons, and no recovered material.2
The report lists the observer assessment as benign. It also records the friendly aircraft in orbit at 20,088 feet and 144 knots, gives the UAP signature as light, lists propulsion as unknown, marks intelligent control and advanced capabilities as "NO", and identifies the physical state as plasma.2
The GENTEXT/UAP section says multiple glares or lights appeared from unknown origin at different angles and directions between 1559Z and 1644Z. It records direct crossings of the FMV camera at 1559Z, 1602Z, and 1644Z, plus halo effects at the top of the FMV feed at 1609Z and 1620Z. The same section describes the observed appearance as a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light" and says the aircrew assessed it was not a lasing event, had no mission impact, and remained benign.2
Paired DVIDS Clip
DVIDS identifies PR-31 as "DOW-UAP-PR31, Unresolved UAP Report, Syria, October 2024," posted as a public-domain courtesy video from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Its page lists Video ID 1006076, filename DOD_111688970, a five-second runtime, and location SY.34
The DVIDS description connects the video to USCENTCOM's UAP report to AARO and to accompanying mission report DOW-UAP-D32. It characterizes the clip as FMV footage from a U.S. military platform and separately warns that the video description is informational, not an analytical conclusion about validity, nature, or significance.3
What The MISREP Adds
This record matters because it gives operational context for a very short public video. The MISREP ties the visual anomaly to a dated ISR sortie, a specific observation window, a sensor feed, mission timing, aircraft state, and the aircrew's contemporaneous assessment, while preserving heavy redactions around sources, methods, locations, and personnel.23
It also shows the limit of the released evidence. The record documents what the crew reported seeing in the FMV feed and how they entered it into the UAP section, but the same source context frames the language as a mission report, not a final technical identification.23
