Disputed · Southern Oman coast, Oman (approximate: Dhofar) ·
Three Telegram channels report that a US military aircraft transmitted emergency squawk code 7700 while flying off Oman's southern coast, near Dhofar. Farsna and WarFront Witness describe it as a US Navy CMV-22B Osprey, while ME Observer describes a US Air Force helicopter. No official confirmation has been published.

Verification
Disputed: 3 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Sources contradict each other about whether it happened, where, or what it was. That does not make it false, and it does not mean either side is right.
Sources disagree on:
- ME Observer describes a US Air Force helicopter, while Farsna and WarFront Witness describe a US Navy CMV-22B Osprey, so the accounts cannot both be right about the aircraft type.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
