DOW-UAP-PR060, "Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 obj 2"
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 [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 obj 2,” is likely derived from a full-motion video camera and an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2021. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:04:50
✦ AI visual analysis
Full-color daytime aerial/electro-optical sensor view looking down on rugged, folded mountainous terrain with a dark shadowed ravine running diagonally across the frame. Small cyan tracking brackets and an 'N' compass marker are overlaid near the center; a faint crosshair sits over open ground. No distinct spherical object is visible within these two sampled frames — the imagery mainly shows terrain being scanned.
