Summary
A Mission Report (MISREP) for an Operation Inherent Resolve ISR sortie says that during target development the crew "OBSERVED 5X UAP FLY ACROSS THE SCREEN" on full-motion video between 1514Z and 1934Z. The first was a UAP "WITH THE VISRECCE OF A POSSIBLE" [redacted] "MISSILE"; the report says "ALL 4X REMAINING UAP FIT CLOSER TO THE PROFILE OF POSSIBLE BIRDS." Dust hindered most video collection, and aircraft, unit, grid and personnel details are redacted.
Note
The report itself suggests a possible missile and birds; no size, speed or altitude is given.
