DOW-UAP-D75: U.S. Military Mission Report, UAP Sighting, Gulf of Aden, July 2024
Prepared summary.
A U.S. Air Force TSGT assigned to the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing and 609 CAOC observed one UAP over the Gulf of Aden at 05:17Z on July 14, 2024, while conducting ISR in support of NAVCENT. The observer reported the UAP maintained a straight flight path at the same altitude, traveled northwest at low altitude, and moved faster than the observing aircraft's flying speed. The observer assessed the UAP as benign and followed it until the distance became too far to follow. The report was filed as MISREP 10194673 by the 124th Attack Squadron under USCENTCOM.
