DOW-UAP-PR056, "Spherical UAP pulsing over water [CALLSIGN]"
A Department of War / AARO release of a 3-minute-32-second infrared video, titled by its uploader "Spherical UAP pulsing over water [CALLSIGN]," pulled from records Congress requested in March 2026.
On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community, and AARO identified responsive materials on a classified network. This file, DOW-UAP-PR056, is a 00:03:32 video that AARO assesses is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform; a user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024. AARO states the media was digitally altered prior to upload and that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. The video shows an area of contrast held generally in the center of the frame, with a brief contrast-mode switch between 00:48 and 00:52, and AARO cautions the description is not an analytical judgment or factual determination about the event.
