"3 fast moving UAPs": two contrasts share the frame for 15 seconds (29 October 2020)
This is a 4-minute infrared clip uploaded in October 2020. The sensor tracks one contrast. A second enters at 01:02, and both are visible for about 15 seconds. The tracked contrast then becomes increasingly indistinct. The uploader counted three fast-moving UAP; AARO's description mentions two. *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.
