DOW-UAP-PR031, Unresolved UAP Report, Syria, October 2024
Key moments
Official description
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of five seconds of video footage from a full-motion video (FMV) camera aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, described the UAP as consisting of a “misshapen and uneven ball of white light,” and reported that a “light/glare halo effect” occurred at the top of the FMV feed.
✦ AI visual analysis
Single grayscale infrared aerial/drone-targeting view looking down on a rural compound: a house with outbuildings, a courtyard, a tree, and surrounding plowed agricultural fields. Magenta tracking brackets and a crosshair reticle are centered on the rooftop, with an 'N' compass marker nearby; thick black redaction bars cover the top and corners of the frame. This appears to be ground infrastructure under surveillance rather than an aerial phenomenon.
