The Department of the Army submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of one minute and 49 seconds of video from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2026. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation. Video Description: 00:00-00:08: The sensor tracks an initial area of interest. 00:09-00:16: The sensor disengages from its previous area of focus and pans from right to left to track two areas of contrast, narrowing the field-of-view to zoom in while panning to maintain the objects' positions generally within the center of the frame. 00:17-01:03: The sensor widens its field-of-view to zoom out, keeping the areas of contrast generally centered within the display. 01:04-01:08: The sensor field-of-view rapidly cycles between levels of zoom, causing the areas of contrast to appear to rapidly increase and decrease in size. 01:09-01:48: The sensor tracks the areas of contrast while maintaining a generally centered position, intermittently cycling between contrast settings. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
The video displays a dark, monochrome view, likely from a night vision or thermal sensor, with a central crosshair. Initially, a single bright point is visible and tracked. Later, two distinct bright objects appear and are actively tracked by the sensor, moving across the frame while the field of view changes, zooming in and out, and contrast settings are adjusted.
The video has a green monochrome appearance, consistent with night vision or thermal imaging. The background is dark, suggesting night or low-light conditions. The sensor actively tracks the objects, and the field of view and contrast settings are dynamically adjusted throughout the clip.
A single bright, small, cross-shaped object
Initially stationary relative to the crosshairs, then disappears.
Two bright, small, rectangular objects
Appear on the right, move left across the frame, and are actively tracked by the sensor, remaining generally centered despite changes in zoom and contrast.
This document is a declassified U.S. Army UAP report submitted to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), consisting of 1 minute and 49 seconds of infrared video captured from an unspecified military platform in 2026. The video shows a sensor tracking two distinct objects, but no written or verbal explanation was provided by the person who filed the report. AARO has not drawn any conclusions about what the objects are.
