01 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, “Cigar Shaped or Fast Spherical UAP clip 15 OCT 22,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in October 2022. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.
Video Duration: 00:00:21
Video Description: This media was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network, and is presented as received.
00:01-00:04: An area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view from left to right.
00:06-00:14: The video replays at a slower speed.
00:15-00:21: The video replays again at an even slower speed.
