Grid 36S YC 40 (FMV/SIGINT collection area)

A U.S. Air Force aircrew filed MISREP 9337873 reporting that on 29 October 2023 at 0811Z, while returning to base over the Aegean Sea, they spotted a UAP flying just above the ocean surface and moving straight toward land. The UAP was described as seemingly circular, too small to make out details, solid, and traveling at an estimated 30 MPH; it was lost from their sensor feed at 0811Z. The observer assessed the UAP as benign and not under intelligent control. The report was declassified on 22 January 2026 by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff.
