Diamond-shaped UAP with non-maneuvering probe — Greece/Eastern Mediterranean, 25 January 2024

On 25 January 2024 at 0509Z, an ISR aircraft from 33 SOS/27 SOW (AFSOC) departing LGLR (Larissa AB, Greece) during transit observed 1 UAP at approximately FL200 while the friendly aircraft was at FL250 traveling at 176 KTS. The UAP appeared diamond-shaped with a non-maneuvering probe at the bottom. It was detected only on the SWIR camera, not on other sensors. The event lasted approximately 2 minutes (0509Z to 0511Z). The UAP maintained a steady westward flight path, with noted altitude variation. Speed estimated at approximately 434 knots (~499 mph) at initial observation. No RF effects, no health effects, no engagement.

“"AT 0509Z, [REDACTED] OBSERVED 1X UAP WHILE IN TRANSIT. UPON INITIAL OBSERVATION, THE UAP WAS FLYING AT A SPEED OF APPROX 434 KNOTS. THE UAP APPEARED DIAMOND IN SHAPE WITH A NON-MANUEVERING PROBE AT THE BOTTOM. THE UAP ONLY APPEARED ON THE SWIR CAMERA. THE EVENT LASTED APPROX 2 MINUTES ENDING AT 0511Z, WITHOUT ANY OTHER INCIDENT OCCURING." UAP description: "ROUND DIAMOND SHAPE WITH STRAIGHT, NON MANUEVERABLE 'TAIL'"”

This is one of the better-documented records in the batch: precise event serial number (250509ZJAN2024-CENTCOM 001), specific start/end times, shape described in detail, speed quantified. SWIR-only detection is notable — absence on other sensor modalities could suggest certain material properties. UAP anomalous behavior documented as 'MAINTAINED STEADY FLIGHT PATH, INCREASED AND DECREASED ALTITUDE PROFILE, DID NOT CHANGE TRAJECTORY'. Observer assessment: Benign. No advanced capabilities observed. Takeoff/landing LGLR. Operation name redacted (b)(1)1.4a); AFSOC/USCENTCOM. Report ID: MDR 25-0100.
