UAP observed at 320 MPH — UAE/Arabian Gulf area, 24 October 2023 (first event)

On 24 October 2023 at 0241Z, an ISR aircraft from 50 ATKS/432 AEW conducting Op SPARTAN SHIELD over the UAE/Arabian Gulf area at FL243 (MGRS 39RYJ9) observed 1 UAP. The UAP's kinetic velocity was estimated at 320 MPH. UAP thermal signature showed 'cold' on sensors. Observer assessment was 'benign'. No RF effects, no engagement, no effects on persons reported. UAP was assessed as solid.

“"AT 0241Z, [REDACTED] OBSERVED 1X UAP IVO 39RXK6[REDACTED]." Kinetic velocity: 320 MPH (estimated). UAP signatures: THERMAL SHOWED COLD.”

Document also contains a Guard Call from Iranian Air Defense at 0145Z (MGRS 40RBP0) instructing the aircraft to 'maintain safe distance from border'; this is a separate documented event, not a UAP. First UAP coordinates: MGRS 39RYJ7 (first seen) to 39RYJ7 (last seen), radius 5. Thermal return was cold — distinct from many other UAP reports showing heat signatures. Observer assessment coded as benign. Report number: USCENTCOM MOR 25-0104.
