DOW-UAP-PR060, "Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 obj 2"
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 [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 obj 2,” is likely derived from a full-motion video camera and an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2021. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024. Video Duration: 00:04:50 Video Description: 00:00-00:26: An area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view from right to left. The sensor pans and zooms in and out to track the area of contrast. 00:27-02:04: The area of contrast re-enters the sensor field-of-view. The sensor pans to the left and up to track it. 02:05-04:50: The sensor refocuses on the original subject matter of the video. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.
