Incident · 27 October 2023 – 25 January 2024 · Aegean Sea and waters off Greece
U.S. military UAP reports off Greece (2023–2024)
Also known as Aegean UAP, Greece UAP 2023
Three U.S. military mission reports and three matching sensor videos released in PURSUE describe unidentified objects in the waters off Greece between October 2023 and January 2024. The reports are titled "Greece"; the catalog places the October cases in the Aegean Sea and the January case in the Mediterranean, and AARO's descriptions say the videos were submitted by U.S. Central Command.
On 27 and 29 October 2023 operators over the Aegean reported small objects skimming just above the sea, one making repeated 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 mph and another heading straight for the coast; the infrared clips show the sensor tracking a spot of contrast until it is lost against the background or the land. On 25 January 2024 an operator reported a diamond-shaped object with something hanging beneath it, seen only in short-wave infrared — in the video, AARO describes an inverted teardrop with a trailing mass suspended below.
The records are unresolved cases with no performance measurements; speeds and shapes are the operators' impressions.

Facts and claims
- documented Mission reports of 27 and 29 October 2023 (D033, D035) record U.S. military operators observing UAP "flying just above the surface of the ocean" in the Aegean, one making "multiple 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 mph", the other flying toward land; paired infrared clips (PR034, PR035) show the tracked contrast lost against the background.

- documented A mission report of 25 January 2024 (D025) describes a diamond-shaped UAP with a "non-maneuvering probe" below it, visible only in the short-wave infrared sensor, estimated at about 434 knots over roughly two minutes; the paired video (PR028) shows an inverted-teardrop shape with a trailing mass suspended below.
