A U.S. Air Force aircrew operating over Syria on October 20, 2024, reported observing a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light" on their Full-Motion Video feed between 1559Z and 1644Z, describing multiple "glares or light from unknown origin at different angles and directions" and a "light/glare halo effect" at the top of the FMV feed. The MISREP, filed by the 12th Special Operations Squadron under Operation INHERENT RESOLVE, records the UAP physical state as "Plasma," propulsion means as "UNKNOWN," and notes the aircrew assessed the event as not a lasing event and "benign" with no mission impact.
