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, “USCG C-144 Tyndall UAP 1 TIC TAC IR hot 24 April 2024,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. Coast Guard platform operating in the Southeastern United States in 2024. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:00:48 Video Description: 00:09-00:15: An area of contrast appears from the upper right side of the screen. The sensor does not pan to track the area of contrast, causing it to leave the field-of-view on the left side of the frame. 00:33-00:48: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the lower right side of the screen and leaves the field-of-view on the lower left side of the screen. The sensor pans to the left, but is unable to track the area of contrast. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.

Key Findings
This document is an official AARO assessment of a 48-second infrared video uploaded to a classified network in June 2024, whose user-defined title references a 'Tic Tac' UAP observed from a USCG C-144 aircraft near Tyndall AFB on 24 April 2024. AARO describes two brief appearances of an untracked area of contrast in the IR footage but explicitly declines to offer any analytical judgment about the object's nature. The record was identified in response to a March 2026 congressional request for UAP-related materials held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community.
Analyst Notes
Chain-of-custody is explicitly noted as unsubstantiated by AARO, significantly limiting evidential value. The video was uploaded by an unidentified user to a classified network and is not formally logged as an official military sensor record. AARO explicitly declines to make any analytical judgment about the object's nature. The sensor failed to track the object in both instances, preventing identification. The user-applied 'Tic Tac' label in the title is not an official designation and may bias interpretation.
