Official Conclusion

No analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination has been rendered; video presented as received in digitally altered form.

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, “Spherical UAP pulsing over water [CALLSIGN],” 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: 00:03:32 Video Description: This media was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network, and is presented as received. 00:01-0:47: The video features an area of contrast generally within the center of the frame. 00:48-00:52: The sensor briefly switches contrast modes, with the area of contrast remaining generally within the center of the frame. 00:53-03:32: The sensor returns to its original contrast mode, with the area of contrast remaining generally within the center of the frame.
