UAP Mission Report
An Iraq report supplies speed and size estimates—but not the geometry behind them
The 2022 mission summary records an object estimated at one to two meters and 80 to 180 miles per hour while leaving altitude unknown.

Official Record · Operator Estimates
Record DOW-UAP-D106 summarizes a 2022 Iraq observation and links two related still-image entries. The operator described sporadic motion and estimated a speed between 80 and 180 miles per hour, a size between one and two meters, and an unknown altitude.
The Department's own note says the descriptions and estimates are subjective and do not conclusively represent intrinsic performance. Without a known range or altitude, calibrated angular measurements, sensor specifications, and a reconstruction of platform motion, apparent size and speed cannot be independently recovered from the public summary. The report preserves a military observation; it does not establish an extraordinary vehicle.
Why it matters
This case shows why precise-looking numbers can remain weak evidence when the measurement method, distance, and uncertainty are absent.
What the source establishes
Confirmed official mission summary with related stills. The object's identity is unresolved, while speed and size remain operator estimates explicitly qualified by the Department.
