This redacted PDF is a U.S. Military Mission Report for an incident in Syria on October 20, 2024. The source notes that MISREPs are standardized forms used to record operational circumstances, and that U.S. military services often use them to report UAP to AARO. In the general text section, a U.S. military operator reported seeing a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light," with multiple "glares or light" from an "unknown origin." The reporter described it as a "light/glare halo effect" at the top of the Full-Motion Video feed. The report's descriptive and estimative language reflects the reporter's subjective interpretation at the time, and should not be read as a conclusive indication of object features or performance characteristics.
