DOW-UAP-D008 — Mission Report, Djibouti, 2025

Official PURSUE description (Department of War / AARO, release 01):

This document is a Mission Report (MISREP), a standardized reporting form the U.S. Military uses to record the circumstances surrounding its operations. U.S. military services often use MISREPs to report Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) to AARO. The GENTEXT, or “general text” section of these reports often contains important qualitative, contextual information, distinguishing it from the more quantitative, or numerical, data found elsewhere in the report. A U.S. military operator reported observing two “white hot UAPs.” The reporter estimated the UAP’s speed as approximately 240 nautical miles per hour (276 mph). All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.

Note. Despite the title "Djibouti", the report's grid reference (35S QT 34236 92957) converts to about 34.25°N 29.54°E, in the eastern Mediterranean north of Egypt, matching the catalog's "Mediterranean Sea" location. The title may reflect where the reporting unit was based.
