Summary
A USCENTCOM mission report documenting a UAP observation in the United Arab Emirates in October 2023. Released via PURSUE Release 1 on May 8, 2026. D23 is one of two UAE-theater DOW mission reports from October 2023, alongside D27 (which is already a primary DECUR case). The pairing suggests multiple distinct UAP events were formally documented by USCENTCOM UAE assets within the same month.
Significance
DOW-UAP-D23 represents a second formally documented UAP observation in the UAE theater in October 2023, alongside D27 (already in DECUR as a case). The sequential numbering of D23 and D27 within the same country and month points to at least two discrete incidents — either from different assets/locations within the UAE or from consecutive days of operational observation.
