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, “UAP from Dec 2019 (East Coast),” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Northern Command area of responsibility in 2019. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in September 2020. Video Duration: 00:00:34

A color electro-optical sensor view shows the blue ocean surface with a crosshair reticle centered in the frame and a small overlay icon in the upper-left corner; a faint bright dot sits to the right of the reticle. The following frame switches to grayscale infrared of the same ocean scene, where the object appears as a distinctly bright white circular dot against the darker water background.
