DOW-UAP-D27: USAF MISREP, Glowing Spherical UAP with Cylindrical Appendage, Gulf of Oman, June 2024

Prepared summary.

A U.S. Air Force Senior Airman assigned to 3rd Special Operations Squadron, 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, reported observing one UAP on June 7, 2024, at 0457Z while returning to base over the Gulf of Oman. The observer described a "glowing hot spherical unidentified object with a vertical unwavering cylindrical pole/bar attached on the bottom of the object," with a possible reflection in the water below, moving at an estimated 140 knots. The observer assessed the UAP as benign; propulsion means were listed as unknown, and no sensor interrogation was conducted.
