INDOPACOM Ten-Minute Infrared Three Segments Shape Change

DOW-UAP-PR058, "[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP"

A Department of War UAP press-release record for a 10-minute, 48-second infrared video, uploader-titled "[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP," that AARO assesses likely came from a U.S. military platform in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.

Brief

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, many lacking a substantiated chain-of-custody. AARO assesses this video, titled "[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP" by its uploader, is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility, uploaded to a classified network in June 2024. The footage runs 00:10:48, was digitally altered prior to upload, and is presented as received, with on-screen cards noting the clip was sped up, stabilized, sharpened, and contrast-enhanced across segments. AARO states the video description is informational only and should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.
