Summary

A six-page internal memorandum dated August 2022 records a single observation of "one possible small UAP" by personnel at a forward operating base in Iraq. The object was estimated at sub-meter scale, exhibited "non-ballistic" flight path for approximately 90 seconds, and disappeared from observation without engagement. Eleven redactions remove personnel identifiers and the precise base location.

Why it matters

A useful baseline for the volume of contemporary, low-stakes UAP encounters that get logged but rarely make the news. Most files in modern PURSUE batches will look like this.
