Official description
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is “Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 0,” 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: 00:04:46
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.

Color daylight sensor footage showing an aerial top-down view of arid, ridged desert terrain in tan and beige tones, with a hazy blue-grey patch that may be water, shadow, or haze. A teal-colored HUD crosshair with corner brackets and an 'N' north indicator is centered on the frame, but no discrete spherical object is clearly resolved in these frames.

The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, centering it within the sensor field-of-view. 04:01-04:46: The sensor changes modes as the area of contrast becomes indistinct against the background.
