Summary
Full-motion sensor video released by the Department of War documenting a UAP in the USCENTCOM area of responsibility on October 15, 2022. The object exhibits morphology consistent with either a cigar-shaped craft or a fast-moving spherical object, with sensor resolution insufficient to resolve the ambiguity. The video was noted as digitally altered prior to upload to classified networks.
Significance
Contributes to the documented pattern of CENTCOM-theater UAP observations in 2022, alongside PR050 (Iran formation, August 2022) and PR054 (EUCOM, August 2022). The cigar-or-sphere morphological ambiguity — both historically reported UAP forms — makes this record a useful data point in the broader corpus.
