Summary
A USCENTCOM mission report documenting a UAP observation in Syria in July 2022. Released via PURSUE Release 1 on May 8, 2026. D16 is one of multiple Syria-theater DOW mission reports spanning 2016 (D55), July 2022, February 2023 (D19), November 2023 (D74), and October 2024 (D32) — the most chronologically continuous USCENTCOM UAP reporting record from any single country in the PURSUE corpus.
Significance
DOW-UAP-D16 extends the Syria UAP reporting timeline within the DOW-UAP corpus. Together with D55 (November 2016), D19 (February 2023), D74 (November 2023), and D32 (October 2024), D16 is part of a five-report Syria series spanning eight years — suggesting persistent, formally documented UAP activity in this theater across multiple operational periods.
