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, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:10:48 Video Description: This media was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network, and is presented as received. 00:01-00:04: A black screen appears featuring the phrase, “[CALLSIGN] recording - 8x speed possible changes of shape stabilized and enhanced 38 secs.” 00:05-00:41: An area of contrast remains centered within the frame. Visual elements of the sensor display enter and exit the frame intermittently throughout. 00:42-00:45: A black screen appears featuring the phrase, “UAP recording original speed stabilized, sharpened, contrast enhanced 5 min.” 00:46-05:45: An area of contrast remains generally within the center of the frame. The sensor cycles contrast modes multiple times. 05:46-05:48: A black screen appears featuring the phrase, “UAP recording original clip 5 minutes.” 05:49-10:48: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast keeping it generally within the center of the frame. The overall quality of the footage progressively degrades throughout. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.

Key Findings

• →Eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records from the Department of War and Intelligence Community on March 6, 2026.
• →AARO assessed the video as likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.
• →The video was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network in June 2024, and the materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.
• →The video depicts an area of contrast tracked by a sensor across approximately 10 minutes and 48 seconds, with the sensor cycling contrast modes and progressively degrading in quality.
• →The uploader-defined title references a callsign, a mission, and the term 'UAP,' and includes text describing shape changes stabilized at 8x speed.
