Página de capa do MISREP 4685903, um relatório de resumo de inteligência militar desclassificado do USCENTCOM. O cabeçalho contém autoridade de desclassificação (General Richard A. Hamson, desclassificado em 22 de janeiro de 2026) com marcações SECRET agora removidas. A seção Narrativa descreve uma missão de ISR de 21 horas a partir de OKAS envolvendo coleta SIGINT e IMINT sobre o Golfo Arábico, Estreito de Ormuz e Golfo de Omã. Múltiplos timestamps (2307Z até 2012Z) marcam fases-chave da missão incluindo decolagem, transferência, operações de coleta, uma chamada de guarda às 0532Z e uma observação crítica de uma formação desconhecida às 1527Z. A seção Admin contém campos de metadados incluindo fonte de classificação (MULTIPLE SOURCES), data de desclassificação (20450301), domínio operacional (AIR), centro de operações (609º), Comando Principal (ACC) e Comando Combatente (USCENTCOM). A unidade de origem é 482ATKS com tipo de relatório MISREP. Extensas redações (1.4a, 1.4c, 1.6, b(3)) protegem nome da operação, identidades de unidades e detalhes específicos de coleta. Rodapé mostra aprovação de desclassificação para liberação para MRI datada de 01/26/26.

Este documento é um formulário de escalonamento de missão desclassificado do USCENTCOM. Ele lista detalhes da missão como 'Tasking Order (ATO)' e 'Mission Type: AREC', seguidos por seções de informações de contato para 'POC', 'QC', 'APPROVER' e 'INGEST'. As rasuras são aplicadas precisamente a campos sensíveis, como números de missão, nomes, números de telefone e endereços de e-mail, usando códigos de isenção FOIA específicos, como 1.4a e (b)(6).

A página é um formulário estruturado intitulado 'ACEQUIP' contendo campos para informações de pessoal e especificações detalhadas de equipamentos de aeronaves. A maioria dos campos, como 'Rank', 'Full Name' e vários detalhes de sistemas de radar/armas, está em branco ou contém um traço. Existem quatro rasuras distintas: duas barras vermelhas no topo e na base, e duas caixas brancas contendo códigos de isenção (1.4a e 3.5c, (b)(6)) que ocultam pontos de dados específicos, como o 'Aircraft Callsign'. O documento está marcado como desclassificado pelo USCENTCOM em janeiro de 2026.

Contém dados operacionais específicos, como códigos ICAO (OKAS), carimbos de data/hora (AUG20) e tipos de missão (AREC). Existem oito pequenas rasuras ocultando identificadores sensíveis, como callsigns, tipos de aeronaves e números de cauda, além de duas barras vermelhas que obscurecem as marcações de classificação originais no topo e no rodapé.

Esta é uma página de relatório de missão ISR desclassificada do USCENTCOM. Detalha a atribuição de tarefas, utilização de ativos e resumos de missões para operações na região do Golfo Arábico. Uma entrada notável na seção 'WEATHER' menciona um 'UAP EVENT' que foi difícil de rastrear devido à cobertura de nuvens. A página contém 23 redações precisas, principalmente pequenas caixas rotuladas como '1.4a' cobrindo coordenadas e nomes de operações, além de duas barras vermelhas e uma caixa maior na parte inferior.

Página 006 de um relatório de missão UAP do Departamento de Guerra dos EUA desclassificado em 22 de janeiro de 2026. Relatório narrativo estruturado documentando um encontro de defesa aérea no Golfo Pérsico em 27 de agosto de 2020. O conteúdo está organizado em cinco seções principais: Off Station (detalhes temporais), GUARDCALL (contato de rádio com a Defesa Aérea do Irã às 0532Z), GENTEXT/GUARDCALL (narrativa de chamada de rádio padrão e resposta), OBSERVATION (detecção por sensor às 1527-1529Z), e GENTEXT/OBSERVATION (narrativa de rastreamento de formação). Múltiplas redações sob as isenções 1.4(a) e 3.5c/(b)(6) obscurecem indicativos de chamada de aeronaves, coordenadas de localização e partes da narrativa de observação. A observação documenta uma formação de objetos voadores desconhecidos rastreada por sensor ao longo da costa do Golfo Pérsico por aproximadamente 2 minutos antes que a PID (identificação positiva) fosse perdida.
                                                                     Declass fiea by MG Ric ard A. Harnsor
