DOW-UAP-D25, Mission Report, Greece, January 2024

Evidence media

  • Open Sky release-file copy: open the seven-page official PDF.
  • The PDF itself contains source-document pages only. It does not show a SWIR still, FMV frame, radar plot, map, or object photograph; any released moving-image material for the 0509Z-0511Z report needs a separate source match before it is treated as D25 evidence.

Derived page renders from the official PDF

Derived render of official PDF page 1: mission narrative

Page 1 is the mission narrative page. It records takeoff from LGLR, a 0509Z UAP mention pointing to UAP 1, FMV/SIGINT collection context, return to base at 1504Z, landing at 2149Z, 20:40 mission hours, 08:29 FMV hours, and 08:27 SIGINT hours. It is text/form evidence, not a sensor frame.

Derived render of official PDF page 6: UAP form fields

Page 6 starts the UAP form block. Readable fields include initial contact 250509:00ZJAN24, event type UAP Incident, friendly aircraft altitude FL250, trajectory 162, speed 176 KTS, observer assessment Benign, physical state Solid, propulsion UNK, intelligent control UNK, UAP Signatures: SWIR WHT, no third-party observers, no effects on persons/equipment, no recovered material, and event serial 250509ZJAN2024-CENTCOM 001.

Derived render of official PDF page 7: UAP continuation and GENTEXT

Page 7 continues the UAP form. It preserves the partially redacted coordinate fields, estimated FL200 kinetic altitude, W kinetic trajectory, and the GENTEXT description of a round diamond shape with a straight non-maneuvering tail/probe; the narrative says the object appeared only on the SWIR camera and lasted about two minutes, ending at 0511Z.

Investigation reading

This is a seven-page declassified MISREP-style PDF tied to Release 01 row 43. The source file was checked as a PDF, not treated as a video or photograph: the release-file copy is 680,054 bytes, has 7 pages, and matches SHA-256 bd5478d2e420f6ff46fb06014e39027e1caa415f55efdc9bd70a849ff6990356.

The review used the complete stored OCR, a selectable-text pass over the PDF, and rendered-page checks for the narrative, equipment/timeline, ISR, and UAP pages. The rendered pages show typed form text and redaction markings only. They do not contain an embedded object photograph, map, radar plot, SWIR still, FMV frame, or other visual exhibit of the reported object.

The strongest source-backed reading is narrow: the form reports a short SWIR-only UAP observation during a January 25, 2024 mission, with the report itself preserving the witness/operator description and mission context. This draft is not an adjudication of what the object was.

What the file appears to contain

The document is a military mission report form with a mission narrative, administrative fields, aircraft/equipment prompts, a timeline, ISR tasking details, weather/effectiveness fields, and a UAP form section. Visible declassification markings identify USCENTCOM release processing and approval for release to AARO. The report title and Release 01 record identify the asset as “DOW-UAP-D25, Mission Report, Greece, January 2024”; the release record gives the incident date as January 25, 2024 and the incident location as the Mediterranean Sea.

The high-signal UAP entry is on pages 6-7. Page 6 lists an initial contact DTG of 250509:00ZJAN24, event type UAP Incident, maneuverability observations NONE, response to observer actions NONE, observer assessment Benign, observation interrogation NO, third-party observers/reporters NONE, UAP physical state Solid, propulsion means UNK, under intelligent control UNK, signatures SWIR WHT, advanced capabilities/materials NO, RF frequency and duration as dashes, effects on persons NO, objects/material recovered NO, and effects on equipment NONE. Friendly-aircraft values are partly redacted, but the visible fields include altitude FL250, trajectory 162, and speed 176 KTS.

Page 7 continues the UAP section. It gives partly redacted first and last coordinates beginning with 35SQT44… and 35SPT6…, a first-seen radius of 20, last accuracy Estimated, kinetic altitude FL200, kinetic trajectory W, and a UAP date of DoD acquisition of 250509:00ZJAN24. The anomalous-characteristics field says the object “maintained steady flight path, increased and decreased altitude profile, did not change trajectory.” The description field reads: ROUND DIAMOND SHAPE WITH STRAIGHT, NON MANUEVERABLE "TAIL". In the narrative, a redacted observer reports that at 0509Z one UAP was observed while in transit; upon initial observation it was moving at approximately 434 knots; it appeared diamond-shaped with a non-maneuvering probe at the bottom; it only appeared on the SWIR camera; and the event lasted about two minutes, ending at 0511Z, without another incident occurring.

The rest of the packet provides mission context rather than object imagery. Page 1 reports takeoff from LGLR at 0109Z, an on-station arrival at 0635Z, return to base at 1504Z, landing at 2149Z, 20:40 mission hours, 08:29 FMV hours, 1x FMV tasking prosecuted, 08:27 SIGINT hours, and 1x SIGINT tasking. Page 4 lists one aircraft, target pod AN/DAS-4, additional avionics AH/GMESH/SANTA FE, datalink LINK 16, takeoff and landing at LGLR, and total mission time of 20 hours 40 minutes. Page 5 records an ISR tasking with primary sensor FMV, sensors available BLASPHEMY, an on-station window of 0635Z to 1504Z, one EEI observed, clear/unclassified weather, and a separate ISR narrative about no EEI activity, POL/NSTR, a stop-follow of an ADM in a silver SUV, and a large white box transfer from a black SUV to a white van.

Source custody and provenance

The PDF has a selectable text layer and redacted/declassified page images. The selectable text is important because it corrects several OCR rough edges, including 1504Z versus OCR-like 1560Z, 2149Z versus 21492, 0635Z versus 063SZ, and 0509Z versus an OCR line that can look like 0505Z in the UAP narrative.

Graph context

Open Sky currently models this item as an official primary-source PDF asset plus a related Release 01 record. The semantic graph has 120 extracted claim records, 88 entity mentions, 12 sensor-event records, and no candidate crosslinks for this asset.

The graph is useful here as a navigation layer, but the source text needs careful separation. The most relevant source-backed sensor/context terms are SWIR, FMV, SIGINT, AN/DAS-4, and LINK 16. Some extracted sensor events are triggered by blank or prompt-style aircraft-equipment fields such as radar, RWR, MWS, IRCM, ECM, chaff, flares, and radar-guided missile prompts on page 3. Those prompts should not be read as populated radar/RWR/weapon evidence for the UAP event without additional source support.

The related-record context also needs review. The graph links this D25 PDF record to nearby Release 01 records, including D23/D27 mission reports and a DVIDS video node titled DOW-UAP-PR27, Unresolved UAP Report, United Arab Emirates, October 2023. Because that video title/location does not match the D25 Greece/Mediterranean PDF title, treat it as a record-linking lead rather than as confirmed visual evidence for this page.

Leads to check

  • Locate and inspect any actual SWIR/FMV product for the 0509Z-0511Z UAP event, if it was released separately. This PDF does not include the SWIR image or FMV frame.
  • Verify the Release 01 record/video pairing around D25 and DVIDS 1006067, since the linked video title appears to describe a United Arab Emirates October 2023 item rather than this Greece/Mediterranean January 2024 PDF.
  • Reconcile OCR versus rendered/selectable text before downstream extraction updates: 0509Z, 0635Z, 1504Z, 2149Z, 08:29 FMV hours, 35SQT... / 35SPT..., and 250509ZJAN2024-CENTCOM 001 are high-signal fields.
  • If coordinates can be lawfully de-redacted or cross-referenced, check the reported MGRS fragments against mission geography, the release-record “Mediterranean Sea” location, and the LGLR takeoff/landing location.
  • Run ordinary context checks for the two-minute 0509Z-0511Z window: aircraft traffic, satellite/space-object visibility, launches/reentries, weather/visibility, marine/air operations, and possible sensor/processing artifacts in SWIR.
  • Separate the page-5 ISR activity narrative from the UAP event. It provides mission context, not evidence that the SUV/box activity explains or corroborates the UAP report.

Lead check notes

  • Checked — Source media inside the D25 PDF: rendered pages 1, 6, and 7 confirm this release-file copy is a text/form mission report with redactions and declassification markings. No SWIR still, FMV frame, radar plot, map, or object photograph is present in the PDF.
  • Partial — SWIR/FMV product search: exact D25 anchors such as 250509:00ZJAN24, SWIR WHT, ROUND DIAMOND, 434 KNOTS, and the 0509Z-0511Z window were found in the current linked Release 01 text corpus only on this D25 PDF. A separate SWIR/FMV product for this event is still not identified in the linked corpus.
  • Partial — DVIDS 1006067 / DOW-UAP-PR27 pairing: the related PR27 page and D23 investigation page describe a United Arab Emirates October 2023 infrared video associated with D23, while this page is the Greece/Mediterranean January 2024 D25 PDF. Do not treat PR27 as D25 visual evidence unless a corrected official release record confirms that pairing.
  • Checked — Rendered-page transcription: page 1 visibly supports 0509Z, 0635Z, 1504Z, 2149Z, and 08:29 FMV hours; page 6 supports 250509:00ZJAN24, SWIR WHT, and 250509ZJAN2024-CENTCOM 001; page 7 supports the 0509Z to 0511Z narrative, FL200, W, and the round-diamond/tail description. OCR variants such as 0505Z, ZIAN24, or malformed 35... grid strings should stay as extraction-quality leads until checked against higher-quality source pages.
  • Blocked — MGRS/geography: the first/last coordinate fields remain partly redacted, so the page cannot support a precise public map point or a complete track. Unredacted coordinates or an authoritative mission/source packet are needed before comparing the report to the Mediterranean Sea location, LGLR, or ordinary air/marine/satellite context.
  • Checked — ISR activity separation: page 5 describes a later ISR tasking window and SUV/box activity after on-station arrival at 0635Z; it is mission context only and does not explain or corroborate the 0509Z-0511Z UAP entry by itself.

Deep investigation — graph + web reconnaissance

Source reread and media boundary

A deeper pass through the official PDF copy, its selectable text, the stored OCR, and the rendered pages keeps this page in the text/form evidence category. Page 1 has the mission narrative and timing fields; pages 6-7 contain the UAP reporting block. The release-file copy still matches SHA-256 bd5478d2e420f6ff46fb06014e39027e1caa415f55efdc9bd70a849ff6990356, is 680,054 bytes, and has 7 pages. The PDF is encrypted with copy restrictions, but selectable-text extraction from the verified copy and rendered-page review both support the high-signal fields.

The source reread resolves several OCR ambiguities without changing the underlying posture. Page 6 reads Initial Contact DTG: 250509:00ZJAN24, UAP Event Serial Number: 250509ZJAN2024-CENTCOM 001, SWIR WHT, Benign, FL250, 176 KTS, NO effects on persons, NO material recovered, and NONE effects on equipment. Page 7 reads UAP Date of DoD Acquisition: 250509:00ZJAN24; it gives partial/redacted coordinate fragments including 35SQT44... and 35SPT63..., FL200, trajectory W, and the GENTEXT line that the UAP was observed at 0509Z, flew at approximately 434 KNOTS, appeared diamond-shaped with a non-maneuvering probe at the bottom, appeared only on the SWIR camera, and ended at 0511Z.

Graph connections and extraction quality

Read-only graph checks found the official PDF asset, the Release 01 row record, and a derived UFO-USA markdown conversion. The official asset node is linked to 17 text chunks, 120 machine-extracted claim nodes, and 12 machine-extracted sensor-event nodes. These graph records are useful as a navigation and audit layer, not as independent conclusions: the claim and sensor-event records are still marked machine_extracted_needs_human_review / not_a_finding.

The source-confirmed sensor context is narrower than the raw sensor-event count suggests. The document supports SWIR as the reported UAP visibility mode, plus FMV/SIGINT mission context and the AN/DAS-4 target pod elsewhere in the form. It does not support treating blank prompt fields for radar, RWR, MWS, IRCM, ECM, chaff, flares, or radar-guided weapons as populated UAP sensor returns.

Graph/text search also strengthens a specific pairing lead. The official graph has a DVIDS video node for DOW-UAP-PR28, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, January 2024 (https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006073/dow-uap-pr28-unresolved-uap-report-greece-january-2024) whose official description repeats the distinctive diamond-shaped / approximately 434 knots / SWIR-only language. However, that DVIDS page says the accompanying mission report is DoW-UAP-D7, while this source page is DOW-UAP-D25. Separately, older or nearby Release 01 row metadata can point D25 toward DVIDS 1006067 / PR27, which is a United Arab Emirates October 2023 video tied to D23 rather than this Greece/Mediterranean report. Treat both as provenance-reconciliation leads, not as confirmed D25 video evidence.

Official web reconnaissance

The canonical WAR.GOV PDF URL remains the primary source URL, but a direct official fetch from this check returned HTTP 403 from the current host. The Open Sky release-file copy is therefore the verified working copy for review here, with the hash and page count above preserving custody.

The official DVIDS PR28 page was reachable and returned HTTP 200. It identifies the title DOW-UAP-PR28, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, January 2024, DVIDS video ID 1006073, date posted 05.07.2026 23:32, length 00:01:06, location GR, VIRIN 240102-D-D0360-7887, and All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office courtesy/source attribution. Its description says the clip shows EO/SWIR split-screen footage for the first ten seconds, then SWIR-focused display, with an area of contrast around 00:04, 00:10, and 00:55. This is high-signal context because of the matching 434 knots / diamond / SWIR language, but the D7-vs-D25 mismatch and differing public date fields must be reconciled before PR28 is cited as the visual counterpart to this D25 PDF.

Prosaic checks and open questions

The public record is still too redacted for a responsible astronomy, satellite, launch/reentry, aircraft, weather, or sensor-artifact resolution. The report itself gives CLEAR WX, no third-party observers, no observer interrogation returns, no RF frequency/duration, no effects on equipment/persons, and no recovered material. It does not provide unredacted MGRS coordinates, azimuth/elevation, line of sight, target-pod settings, field of view, raw SWIR frames, a platform track, or synchronized video metadata.

The most useful next checks are therefore provenance and geometry checks, not identity claims: reconcile whether PR28 is the released video for this event despite the DoW-UAP-D7 text, locate any corrected mission-report/video pairing statement, compare PR28 frame timing against the 0509Z-0511Z D25 window if authoritative metadata exists, and obtain lawful unredacted coordinates or platform geometry before running satellite/aircraft/marine/launch correlations. Until then, the page should remain an unresolved source-backed report, not a finding.

Limits

This page does not resolve the case. The PDF is a mission-report form, not a full evidence packet. It contains no raw SWIR still, no FMV clip, no radar plot, no map, no object photograph, no independent witness statement, and no lab or sensor-analysis annex.

Many operational fields are redacted. Several equipment fields are blank prompts rather than populated sensor records. The form’s “Benign,” “NO,” “UNK,” and dash fields should be read as report entries, not as independent verification. The shape, speed, signature, and duration statements are preserved as reported source text until a human investigator reviews the underlying sensor media and surrounding operational context.
