DOW-UAP-PR052, "UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)

Official Conclusion

No conclusion stated; AARO explicitly disclaims any analytical judgment or factual determination regarding the event's validity, nature, or significance.

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 USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission),” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:08:16 Video Description: This media was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network, and is presented as received. 00:00-00:05: Four areas of contrast transit the frame from the bottom third of the left side to the bottom third of the right side of the frame. 00:06-00:38: The video appears to cut, refocusing on four areas of contrast. Visual elements of the sensor display enter and exit the frame. 00:39-06:08: The video seems to cut multiple times, applying various contrast filters and zoom levels. Visual elements of the sensor display enter and exit the frame. 06:09-06:50: The sensor zooms in on four areas of contrast. 06:51-08:10: The areas of contrast become increasingly indistinct over time as the video quality degrades. 08:11-08:15: Video appears to cut, or zoom out, likely cutting to an earlier portion of the video, with the areas of contrast more visible.

Key Findings

• →AARO assessed the video was likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform but cannot confirm the chain-of-custody.
• →The video was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network in June 2024, undermining its integrity as evidence.
• →The video shows four areas of contrast transiting the frame, with multiple apparent cuts, zoom changes, and contrast filter applications throughout its 8-minute duration.
• →Eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives formally requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and Intelligence Community on March 6, 2026.
• →AARO explicitly states that the video description does not constitute an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the event's validity or nature.
