The report gives their direction and speed, but not the date of the sighting.
The report gives their direction and speed, but not the date of the sighting.
A U.S. military mission report documents a sighting of two round, white objects over the Mediterranean. The operator estimated their speed, but the report does not identify them.
Heavily redacted seven-page U.S. military Mission Report (MISREP) concerning a UAP observation associated with operations in/near Djibouti, 2025. Six of seven pages are entirely withheld under exemption 1.4(a) (national security / military plans, weapons, operations). Only the GENTEXT/UAP narrative on page 7 survives in readable form, recording that at 1653Z an observer reported two round, white-hot UAPs moving dynamically southward at approximately 240 nautical miles per hour in the vicinity of MGRS grid 35SQT3423692957. The remainder of the report (asset, sensor, platform, unit, originator) is redacted.
At 1653Z, a U.S. military operator observed two round, white-hot UAPs traveling dynamically southward at an estimated speed of approximately 240 nautical miles per hour (~276 mph) in the vicinity of MGRS grid 35SQT3423692957.
"AT 1653Z, [REDACTED 1.4(a)] OBS 2X ROUND WHITE HOT UAPS DYNAMIC SOUTH AT APPROX 240NM/HOUR IVO 35SQT3423692957."
Why it matters: The only substantive observation surviving redaction — captures observation timestamp (1653Z), object count (2), thermal/visual signature (round, white hot), kinematics (dynamic south, ~240 NM/hr), and precise MGRS location.

MGRS 35SQT3423692957 falls in UTM zone 35S, which covers the Horn of Africa / Djibouti region — consistent with the document title and likely Camp Lemonnier / Djibouti USCENTCOM operations area, NOT the Mediterranean Sea as stated in the war.gov manifest description. "White hot" indicates a thermal/IR sensor presentation (white-hot polarity); the actual sensor and platform are redacted under 1.4(a). Document classification banner in the surviving GENTEXT is SECRET//REL TO USA, FIN, SWE, FVEY, NATO. Six of seven pages are fully withheld, so unit, asset, originator, and full event context are not recoverable from this release.
The record places them over the Mediterranean.
The record does not give the date.
No. The report records the description but does not identify them.
A military operator said he saw two round, strikingly white objects moving south over the Mediterranean. That is according to a U.S. military mission report.
The report offers few details, but one stands out: the operator estimated that the objects were traveling at about 440 kilometers per hour. He did not identify them, and the document does not explain what he saw. So what can we learn from the account, and what remains unknown?
A mission report is a form the U.S. military uses to document the circumstances of its operations. The military also uses these reports to record unidentified phenomena. The released document includes a brief description of the sighting, along with redacted details.
According to the report, the operator saw two round objects that appeared strikingly white. He said they were moving south. The document gives no details about their size, markings, or other features that might help identify them.
The operator estimated the objects’ speed at about 440 kilometers per hour. The report does not say how he arrived at that figure. It also stresses that the description and estimates reflect his impression at the time, not a definitive assessment of the objects’ characteristics.
In other words, the account records what the operator noticed and what he thought about their movement. It provides neither an independent measurement nor an explanation for the sighting. That is why the figure sounds more precise than the available information warrants: it appears in the report, but the method used to calculate it is not described.
The record places the sighting over the Mediterranean but gives no date. Parts of the document are redacted, and it does not identify the objects or explain the sighting. The document was released to the public, but it does not say why.
Two round, white objects, moving south over the sea. The report leaves us with a description, but no answer as to what passed by.
