DOW-UAP-PR054, "Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022"
Key moments
Official description
On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network. Many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is “Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the United States European Command area of responsibility in August 2022. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:03:57
✦ AI visual analysis
Black-and-white infrared footage showing a small, sharply bright white dot against a dark, banded horizon of sky and terrain. The point of light stays roughly centered-left across both frames, with faint radiating streaks suggesting sensor blooming from a hot target. No airframe or wings are resolved -- only a compact round hotspot consistent with the title's description of a spherical object.
