Official Description
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of six seconds of video footage from a full-motion video (FMV) camera aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, described the UAP as consisting of a “misshapen and uneven ball of white light,” and reported that a “light/glare halo effect” occurred at the top of the FMV feed. Video Description: 00:02-00:04: An area of irregular color and brightness, mainly consisting of white and red highlights, appears near the center of the top edge of the sensor display. The area extends to a width of approximately one-third of the horizontal frame, with a vertical area comprising approximately one-sixth of the viewing area. Overall, its shape is best described as a horizontally-oriented half-oval bisected along its major axis. 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
A U.S. Central Command report submitted to AARO describes a six-second full-motion video clip captured by a sensor aboard a U.S. military platform over Syria in October 2024. The footage shows an area of irregular white and red light near the top edge of the sensor display, accompanied by a reported light/glare halo effect. The official mission report describes the UAP as a 'misshapen and uneven ball of white light,' and the case remains unresolved.
Analyst Notes
The observable anomaly is confined to the very top edge of the sensor display, which is consistent with a lens flare, sensor artifact, or light bleed from a bright source near the frame boundary rather than a discrete external object. The video duration is only six seconds, severely limiting behavioral analysis. No corroborating sensor data (radar, IR targeting, additional cameras) is referenced. The 'light/glare halo effect' noted in the mission report itself suggests possible optical artifact.
