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.

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 AARO assessment describes a classified network video titled 'UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission),' identified as part of a collection of 51 potentially UAP-related records requested by eight U.S. House members in March 2026. The video, approximately 8 minutes and 16 seconds long, appears to show four areas of contrast moving across what is likely an infrared sensor display from a U.S. military platform. AARO notes the video was digitally altered prior to upload and lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody.
Analyst Notes
The video was digitally altered prior to upload, severely compromising its evidentiary value. AARO explicitly notes the collection lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody. No witness testimony, radar corroboration, or independent sensor confirmation is referenced. The incident location is redacted. The four 'areas of contrast' description is non-specific and the multiple cuts with varying filters prevent reliable analysis of the original footage. AARO's disclaimer explicitly states the description should not be interpreted as any analytical or factual determination.
