Prepared summary.

A U.S. Air Force operator reported observing "5x UAP fly across the screen" via Full Motion Video over Iraq on 6 May 2022, between 1514Z and 1934Z, in the vicinity of grid 38SMC53. The GENTEXT describes one UAP as having "the VISRECCE of a possible missile" and the remaining four as fitting "closer to the profile of possible birds." The report, MISREP undefined-7473483, was filed under Operation Inherent Resolve and approved for release to AARO. Dust is noted as having "hindered most FMV collection of the ground" during the observation period.
