Misrep-7816710 is an operational source record concerning a mission associated with Task Force Chosin. According to the source record, the task force assigned an aircraft imagery intelligence through a 7 line,¹ after which the aircraft departed Muwaffaq Salti Air Base Jordan at 2022-07-30 18:22 UTC.² It began signals intelligence collection at 19:25 UTC³ and arrived on station at 20:28 UTC to check in with the task force’s Sensor Tasking Authority for imagery intelligence.⁴ The record places the operation within Operation Spectre Dagger, described as force protection in support of Task Force Chosin, and identifies the tasking as occurring under Operation Inherent Resolve.⁵

The central observation concerns the 2022-07-31 UAP sighting near Deir ez-Zor, Syria. According to Misrep-7816710, the aircraft observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon at 02:39 UTC.⁶ The Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) event lasted less than a minute, and the phenomenon moved from north to south.⁷ At the time, the friendly aircraft was at approximately 5,900 metres and travelling at approximately 215 kilometres per hour.⁸ The record also states that full motion video from the mission was exploited by Distributed Ground Station 1 (DGS-1).⁹ These details make the source relevant to research because it combines an observation with operational timing, stated aircraft conditions and a named video-processing organisation, rather than presenting the sighting as an isolated narrative.

According to the source record, the mission totalled 20.9 hours, including 17.2 imagery intelligence hours with one imagery intelligence tasking and 18.7 signals intelligence hours with one signals intelligence tasking; two total taskings were prosecuted.¹⁰ It was overseen by the 609th Combined Air Operations Center (609 CAOC), fell under Air Forces Central Command (AFCENT) and United States Central Command (USCENTCOM), and was originated by the 89th Attack Squadron (89 ATKS) as an Armed Reconnaissance mission.¹¹ Its point of contact and quality-control reviewer were assigned through the 432nd Air Expeditionary Wing (432 AEW), 603rd Air Operations Center (603 AOC) and 609 CAOC, while the approver was assigned to the 609th Air Operations Center.¹² The record further states that weather was not a factor and that the aircraft scanned Syria, Deir ez-Zor, Dayr Az Zar Parking Airfield, observing two inactive TELAR systems with three rockets loaded.¹³
