Unresolved UAP Report, Kuwait, May 2022

DOW-UAP-PR020 is a declassified U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) report submitted to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) documenting a UAP incident from May 2022. The record consists of a single still image captured by a U.S. military sensor system, along with a reference to an accompanying mission report (DoW-UAP-D12). The incident location is listed as Iraq, though the record title references Kuwait. The operator was unable to positively identify the object, which was described in the mission report as moving from north to northeast. The image shows an elongated area of contrast in the upper left quadrant with intensity increasing along its length.

The record is notable primarily because the original reporter digitally altered the imagery before submission to AARO, adding a red circle around the area of interest, which raises chain-of-custody considerations for analytical purposes. The companion mission report, DoW-UAP-D12, is referenced but not included here. The discrepancy between the title's listed location (Kuwait) and the incident location field (Iraq) is unresolved in the available record.
