DOW-UAP-D20: March 2023 report of 10-20 possible UAP

By UFO Disclosure Files Editorial Desk Published 2026-05-08 Updated 2026-05-12 Department of War / USCENTCOM Official record

DOW-UAP-D20 is a strong first record because it has a clear mission timeline, aircraft context, equipment details, and an explicit UAP section.

Verified key facts

The report is a six-page mission report approved for release to AARO.
The mission involved a two-ship of F-16CM aircraft during Operation Inherent Resolve.
The UAP section lists possible 10-20 objects sighted.
The report says objects were briefly obtained on a targeting pod in TV mode before becoming dim and disappearing.

What this shows

The report records several bright objects maneuvering quickly and notes a comparison between targeting-pod observations of the possible UAP and a star.

Why this page matters

This archive page turns a source item into a reader-friendly research record: source, agency, release context, evidence label, limits, and related questions stay visible together. That is the difference between a searchable disclosure file and a screenshot passed around without context.

What it does not prove

The report does not identify the objects, publish video evidence, or prove extraordinary origin.

Open questions

Is the targeting-pod footage releasable, and are there radar, Link 16, or additional mission records connected to this event?
