A U.S. military platform operating over Syria captured five seconds of footage showing an unidentified object moving across the top edge of a full-motion video feed — described in the accompanying mission report as a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light" with a light halo effect. CENTCOM flagged it as unresolved and forwarded it to AARO. The clip is brief and the object indistinct, but the combination of sensor data, operational context, and military chain of custody makes it a useful data point for understanding how UAP encounters are documented in active conflict zones.

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of five seconds of video footage from a full-motion video (FMV) camera aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, described the UAP as consisting of a “misshapen and uneven ball of white light,” and reported that a “light/glare halo effect” occurred at the top of the FMV feed.

Video Description: 00:00-00:01: An indistinctly shaped multi-colored area moves from right to left across the top edge of the sensor display within the first second of the video.
