Official summary, as published

On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network. Many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.

AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “Multiple Spherical UAP USO near Sub. [CALLSIGN] 2022/03/25 in and out of water,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in May 2024.

Video Duration: 00:04:50

Video Description:

00:45-00:56: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the bottom left side of the screen and moves to the bottom right of the screen. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast.

00:57-01:10: A second area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the bottom right side of the screen. The sensor pans to keep both objects in its field-of-view, but the second object briefly leaves the field of view off the right side of the screen. The first area of contrast leaves the field-of-view off the right side of the frame, and the sensor pans to continue tracking the second object, which then appears from the middle of the left side of the frame.

01:11-01:35: The sensor continues to pan to track the second area of contrast.

01:36: The sensor zooms out, losing view of the second area of contrast.

02:11-03:05: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the lower right side of the screen, moves off the left side of the screen, and the sensor pans to track it. The area of contrast reenters the field-of-view from the lower right side of the screen and the sensor continues to pan to track it.

04:09-04:37: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the right side of the screen, crosses the field-of-view, and the sensor pans to track it.

Our reading

READ FIRST

Infrared footage its uploader titled 'Multiple Spherical UAP USO near Sub', dated 25 March 2022 and labelled 'in and out of water'. The archive's still from the clip shows a surfaced submarine. AARO's description logs four separate passes in which areas of contrast cross the field of view and the sensor pans to follow, with two contacts held in frame together for a stretch. AARO's text says nothing about water entry or exit: that claim rests on the uploader's title alone, so watch the clip against the timestamps.

Three separate measures, each with its reason. They are never added into a score.

E Evidence 2 of 3

Nearly five minutes of infrared sensor record with four separate tracking passes, two contacts in frame at once.

N Novelty 3 of 3

Judged from the file: an uploader-titled clip held on a classified network, with no earlier public appearance noted by AARO or found here.

L Linkage 0 of 3

No board entity covers this event; platform and location are withheld.
