A six-second clip captured by a U.S. military drone over Syria shows a bright, irregularly shaped half-oval of white and red light bleeding across the top of the sensor feed — fleeting enough that it raises more questions than it answers. CENTCOM flagged it as unresolved and passed it to AARO, with an accompanying mission report describing the object as a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light" accompanied by a halo effect. Whether that's sensor artifact, atmospheric optics, or something else remains officially open.

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of six 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: 00:02-00:04: An area of irregular color and brightness, mainly consisting of white and red highlights, appears near the center of the top edge of the sensor display. The area extends to a width of approximately one-third of the horizontal frame, with a vertical area comprising approximately one-sixth of the viewing area. Overall, its shape is best described as a horizontally-oriented half-oval bisected along its major axis.
