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, “AFSOC Kabul UAP Jul 2017,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:00:17 Video Description: 00:00-00:13: No content. 00:14-00:15: An area of contrast moves into the sensor field-of-view from the left edge and moves to the right edge out of the field-of-view. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
Key Findings
This document is an AARO assessment of a short infrared sensor video titled 'AFSOC Kabul UAP Jul 2017,' uploaded to a classified network in June 2024. The video was identified as part of a collection of 51 potentially UAP-related records requested by eight U.S. House members in March 2026. AARO notes the materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody and provides only a minimal description of the 17-second video content.
Analyst Notes
Significant chain-of-custody issues: AARO explicitly states the materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, undermining evidentiary value. The video was uploaded anonymously to a classified network in 2024, with no verified origin. The substantive UAP content is only 1-2 seconds of an uncharacterized 'area of contrast' with no shape, size, or behavior determinable. AARO explicitly disclaims any analytical judgment or factual determination. The uploader-defined title is the sole source linking this to Kabul or July 2017.
