Summary
A USCENTCOM mission report documenting "one possible small UAP" crossing U.S. military surveillance sensor coverage during an unrelated military operation in Iraq in May 2022. Originally classified and released publicly via the PURSUE initiative on May 8, 2026, DOW-UAP-D14 is one of four named CENTCOM-theater UAP mission reports in PURSUE Release 1. The explicit "possible" qualifier in the document language is notable, as it acknowledges the reporting operator was not certain of the object's nature at the time of observation.
Significance
DOW-UAP-D14 is significant as the first named CENTCOM mission report in chronological order among the publicly released PURSUE documents and the only one using the qualifier "possible small UAP" explicitly in its description. The document's release establishes that U.S. military surveillance assets in Iraq were formally logging UAP observations through the DOW-UAP classification system as of May 2022. The D14 number, in the context of D25, D27, and D64, implies a non-sequential release from a larger classification series.
