Summary
A USCENTCOM mission report documenting a UAP observation in Iraq in May 2022. Released via PURSUE Release 1 on May 8, 2026. D12 is one of two Iraq mission reports from May 2022 alongside D14, and part of a three-report May 2022 CENTCOM cluster with D10. The pairing of D12 and D14 from the same country in the same month suggests multiple distinct UAP observations were formally logged by USCENTCOM Iraq assets within weeks of each other.
Significance
DOW-UAP-D12 is one of two DOW mission reports from Iraq in May 2022 — the other being D14, which is already a primary case in DECUR. The existence of two sequentially numbered Iraq reports from the same month suggests that UAP observations in the Iraq theater were occurring with enough frequency in mid-2022 to generate multiple discrete formal reports.
