In 2020, a U.S. military infrared sensor captured nearly five minutes of an object that slips in and out of contrast, shifts position when imaging modes change, and refuses to behave like any conventional aircraft, drone, or known technology. Submitted by CENTCOM to AARO with no operator notes and no identification, this unresolved UAP remains one of the strangest thermal signatures released to date.

2/ The encounter took place on September 8, 2021. According to the released account, the AC-130J crew dropped a water activated flare into the Gulf of Oman to use as a target, then later slewed the infrared sensor back toward the area. That is when two unidentified objects were reportedly observed hovering roughly 0-20 ft above the water near the flare. They were described as approximately four feet in diameter and as "cold orbs."

ODNI-UAP-D001, USPER Narrative, Senior USIC Official
Office of the Director of National Intelligence2 pagesMay 22, 2026RELEASE-02-FILE-005-ODNI-UAP-D001-USPER-NARRATIVE-SENIOR-USIC-OFFICIAL

This two-page first-person narrative by a self-described senior U.S. intelligence officer recounts a late-2025 helicopter mission and a sequence of reported orb encounters. This analysis presents the account as unverified testimony, preserving its distinctions among naked-eye, night-vision, radar, and FLIR reporting and its explicit statement that no photographs were taken.

DOW-UAP-PR46, Unresolved UAP Report, INDOPACOM, 2024

The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of nine seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation. Video Description: 00:00-00:09: The sensor focuses on an area of contrast that resembles a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one oriented ve...

This three-page witness statement gives a time-coded account of a helicopter search mission and a subsequent series of reported orb encounters. This analysis treats the descriptions as unverified witness and ground-team reporting while preserving the distinctions among naked-eye, night-vision, radar, and FLIR observations.
