Eglin AFB aircrew film a UAP (13 February 2023)
This is a 30-second infrared clip attached to IIR 1 655 S0301 23, titled "Eglin AFB Aircrew Observed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) on 13 Feb 23". It was uploaded in March 2023. AARO's description adds nothing beyond the platform and year. The date falls one day after the 12 February 2023 Lake Huron shoot-down; the case/lakehuron record cites this file only as related. *Method note: war.gov blocks this server, and the video itself was not viewed. Everything here comes from the official war.gov description, as reproduced and summarised on the ufotransparency.com mirror page. Release 02 states that on 6 March 2026 eight members of the House asked for 51 potentially UAP-related records. AARO found the responsive material on a classified network, and many items "lack a substantiated chain-of-custody". The quoted titles are uploader-defined, not AARO's, and AARO describes its descriptions as informational only, not analytical judgments. No DVIDS copy of the Release 02 videos was found.*

Plausibility weighs how well an account fits where secrecy hides the documents by design, so missing records never count against it. Strength measures what is documented. Assessed 2026-10-23.
