Official description
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 1,” 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 May 2024. Video Duration: 00:04:49
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.
See the glossary →✦ AI visual analysis
A blue-tinted electro-optical sensor view shows a layer of clouds over open sky or water, with a crosshair reticle near the frame center and a small, faint white dot to its right, presumed to be the tracked object. In the later frame the dot is no longer clearly distinguishable, obscured by cloud texture, leaving only the reticle and an 'N' heading marker visible.
