Official description
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “Spherical UAP pulsing over water [CALLSIGN],” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:03:32
About this type of document
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.

Grayscale infrared sensor footage over rippling ocean water. A blue targeting reticle (crosshair with a corner tracking bracket) is fixed near the center of frame, tracking a small round object on the water's surface. The object appears first as a solid dark dot and in the following frame as a dark ring or open circle with a bright white outline, suggesting a pulsing or rotating spherical shape against the wave texture.
