A Department of War / AARO release of an infrared video, uploader-titled "Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022," that AARO assesses was likely captured by a U.S. military IR sensor over EUCOM in August 2022 and digitally altered before being uploaded to a classified network.
DOW-UAP-PR054, "Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022"
A Department of War / AARO release of an infrared video, uploader-titled "Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022," that AARO assesses was likely captured by a U.S. military IR sensor over EUCOM in August 2022 and digitally altered before being uploaded to a classified network.
On March 6, 2026, eight U.S. House members requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community, and AARO located responsive materials on a classified network, many lacking a substantiated chain-of-custody. This file, PR054, is a 3-minute-57-second infrared video that AARO assesses is likely derived from a sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the U.S. European Command area of responsibility in August 2022. AARO states the media was digitally altered prior to its June 2024 upload to a classified network and is presented as received, with the alterations significantly influencing the area of contrast's apparent performance characteristics. AARO frames the video description as informational only and explicitly declines to treat it as an analytical judgment or factual determination about the event.
