CENTCOM Syria MISREP
The Department of War's May 8, 2026 PURSUE Release 01 identifies DOW-UAP-D32 as a Department of War mission report for an October 20, 2024 incident in Syria.1 In the release metadata, this D32 PDF entry is the version paired with PR-33, DVIDS video 1006079.23
The ten-page PDF is a Military Mission Report, or MISREP, for an Operation Inherent Resolve air-domain ISR mission. It was declassified by USCENTCOM Chief of Staff MG Richard A. Harrison on October 24, 2025 and approved for release to AARO, while retaining extensive national-security and privacy redactions.2
October 20 ISR Timeline
The mission narrative says the aircraft took off from OJMS at 0823Z on October 20, performed three FMV/SIGINT taskings, returned to base at 0124Z on October 21, and landed at OJMS at 0447Z. The report lists 20 hours and 24 minutes of mission time, 14 hours and 22 minutes of FMV time, and 13 hours and 2 minutes of SIGINT time.2
The UAP entry records initial contact at 1559Z on October 20. The report describes a light or glare of unknown origin crossing the FMV camera feed, lists the observer assessment as benign, records no change in response to observer actions, and says there was no interrogation, engagement, recovery, effect on persons, or reported intelligent control.2
In the UAP description field, the object is characterized as a misshapen and uneven ball of white light. The event text says multiple glares or lights from unknown origin were observed from 1559Z to 1644Z, including crossings of the FMV camera at 1559Z, 1602Z, and 1644Z, plus a light or glare halo effect at the top of the FMV feed at 1609Z and 1620Z. The aircrew assessed that the event had no mission impact and was not a lasing event.2
Linked PR-33 Video
The paired PR-33 media is a DVIDS-hosted Department of War video titled "DOW-UAP-PR33, Unresolved UAP Report, Syria, October 2024." The release metadata associates it with D32, and the DVIDS page provides the public video page and direct MP4 asset for the short unresolved UAP clip.34
Operational Context for the Clip
DOW-UAP-D32 matters because it ties a public unresolved UAP video to a fuller operational record. The PDF does not resolve the light source, but it preserves the original mission context, sensor context, timing, aircrew assessment, and limits of the available observation.23
It also shows how the PURSUE release separates source reporting from interpretation. The mission report records what the crew and reporting fields captured at the time, while the paired PR-33 video gives the public media reference without turning the visual description into a final analytical conclusion.23
