DOW-UAP-PR075, "09JUN2021 [Platform] observed UAP in the ECS"
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, “09JUN2021 [Platform] observed UAP in the ECS,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating above the East China Sea in 2021. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2021. Video Duration: 00:00:23 Video Description: 00:01-00:18: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast. At the 18 second mark, the sensor loses sight of the object. 00:19-00:23: No content. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.
