- Under analysis
Analysis opens on five simultaneous Pacific videos (2019) the Navy passed to AARO: three film a military platform's infrared display by hand and two film apparent light sources in low light. The catalogue warns they were altered before reaching AARO.DOW-UAP-PR123

Navy 2020 · Nov 2004FLIR1The “Tic Tac”UnresolvedIn November 2004, off San Diego, a VFA-41 aircrew records an object with its targeting pod, first in infrared and then in the visible channel. AARO keeps it as an unresolved case.Open case file
Navy 2020 · Jan 2015GIMBALUnresolvedIn January 2015, off the East Coast, an F/A-18 records with its infrared pod an object whose silhouette appears to rotate, while the aircrew talks about a “fleet” on radar. AARO keeps it as an unresolved case.Open case file
Navy 2020 · Jan 2015GOFASTUnidentified · motion explainedIn January 2015, off Florida, an F/A-18F display seems to show an object racing over the sea. The display's own numbers place it at about 13,000 feet, moving roughly with the wind.Open case file
PURSUE · Jul 2, 1952DOW-UAP-D102The Tremonton film (Utah, 1952)UnresolvedOn July 2, 1952, a Navy photographer films a group of bright dots over Utah from the roadside. The Navy cannot identify them; the Air Force ends up saying they were seagulls. The file fully supports neither claim.Open case file
PURSUE · Oct 2023Western US EventOrbs launching orbs (western United States, 2023)UnresolvedIn October 2023, six federal agents guarding a sensitive site watch, over two days, orange orbs that “release” red orbs, a fiery sphere by a peak and an object that floats off the road. AARO explains part of it with military flares; the rest, resting on testimony alone, remains open.Open case file
PURSUE · Oct 27, 2023DOW-UAP-D033A dot skimming the Aegean Sea (2023)UnresolvedA U.S. reconnaissance aircraft films for three minutes an infrared dot skimming the Aegean Sea. The crew notes “90-degree turns” at about 80 mph but rates it benign; the video, with its data redacted, cannot confirm the turns.Open case file
PURSUE · Sep 8, 2021DOW-UAP-D101The “cold orbs” of the Gulf of Oman (2021)UnresolvedDuring a nighttime live-fire exercise, an AC-130 crew sees two “cold orbs” hovering over the water that dart away when the cannon fires, and some 25 more sightings at 250–1,300 mph. The recorder failed: only phone videos of the screen remain, and they allow nothing to be measured.Open case file
PURSUE · Nov 19, 1964CIA-UAP-D022The 3,800-knot contact off Puerto Rico (1964)Unidentified · motion explainedA Navy destroyer logs a contact above 3,800 knots and a fighter pilot sees a delta-shaped object leave him behind. The nearby air base says it was a secret spy plane; the CIA says it was not. When it analyzes the radar film, the real speed turns out to be about 485 knots.Open case file - PURSUE · Feb 2022FBI-UAP-D001The object over Cheyenne Mountain (Colorado, 2022)UnresolvedFive service members at Fort Carson see a white, motionless, silent object over Cheyenne Mountain that suddenly disappears. The only official explanation, light reflected off snow, has low confidence, and the witnesses agree on neither the time, the sky nor the shape.Open case file
PURSUE · Jul 29, 2025DOW-UAP-D108Six spheres over the Middle East (2025)UnresolvedAt night, a special operations sensor operator films in infrared “six small spherical objects grouped together” that seem agile, at an estimated 480 mph. The video confirms six warm dots flying together; their changes of direction are the whole group's and, without sensor data, cannot be separated from the camera's motion.Open case file
PURSUE · 2019DOW-UAP-D090An object below a civilian aircraft (2019)UnresolvedFrom a civilian King Air working for the Navy, a crew member with 28 years of experience sees a small object, below, crossing “in a straight line opposite our direction at high speed.” In the 20 seconds of video, what races is the ground: the operator keeps the object on screen while the terrain slides behind it. Without range, its speed cannot be measured.Open case file
PURSUE · 2019DOW-UAP-PR123Five videos from the Pacific (2019)UnresolvedFive videos recorded at the same time in the Pacific, with no report and altered before reaching AARO. In three, a dark blob on an infrared display drops to the horizon and stops standing out once it is in front of the sea, which has the same tone. In the other two, filmed in low light, red, white and green lights are seen.Open case file
PURSUE · Oct 2024FBI-UAP-D004The northeastern orbs (US, 2021–2025)UnresolvedSince 2021, a person in the northeast says they see orbs of light by their home and films them with their phone; in 2024, two FBI agents see lights moving at treetop height, but their photos come out blurred. Measured frame by frame, the videos have ordinary candidates: a still light on the far shore, two lights moving below the tree line's silhouette and, in another backyard, two orbs that look like sky lanterns.Open case file - DOW-UAP-D106Mission Report, Iraq, 2022Department of War · 2022 · Iraq · Document · 3 recordsCatalogue card
