A "spherical UAP pulsing over water", held centre-frame (date not given)
This is a 3 min 32 s infrared clip from a U.S. military platform, digitally altered before upload in June 2024. The area of contrast stays roughly centred, and between 00:48 and 00:52 the sensor briefly switches contrast modes. The description does not mention the "pulsing" in the uploader's title. *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.*

How plausible · Moderate
Released official sensor footage of unresolved contrasts; no identified witness or independent backing, but the data itself is real. This clip was digitally altered before upload.
- ●●Access A U.S. military sensor recorded it.
- ●●No gain sought Released by the government; nobody profits.
- ●●Checkable details check out Released on war.gov (PURSUE).
- ●●Physical traces or official reaction Instrument data: the clip itself.
- ●○Character record An official record, uploader unnamed.
- ●○Fits the documented skeleton Part of the documented AARO/PURSUE record of unresolved military cases.
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.
