View this incident on the interactive incident map and timeline
In November 2020, U.S. military assets recorded a UAP incident over Iran, documented in a classified mission report designated DOW-UAP-D64. Released publicly via the PURSUE initiative on May 8, 2026, DOW-UAP-D64 is the earliest-dated of four named CENTCOM-theater mission reports in PURSUE Release 1. The high document number (D64) implies a sequential military classification system with at least 64 UAP incidents formally documented before this one. Together with DOW-UAP-D14 (Iraq, May 2022), DOW-UAP-D27 (UAE coast, October 2023), and DOW-UAP-D25 (Greece, January 2024), it establishes a sustained four-year pattern of formally documented military UAP observations across the CENTCOM area of responsibility.
