"[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP"
A ten-minute infrared video from an unspecified military platform in the Indo-Pacific, uploaded to a classified network in June 2024 under a callsign-tagged title suggesting the crew believed they were capturing something anomalous. The footage was digitally processed before upload — stabilized, contrast-enhanced, and sped up — meaning what AARO received is an edited version of the original, a detail that complicates any analysis of the object's apparent behavior, including what the uploader describes as "possible changes of shape." AARO notes the record lacks a substantiated chain of custody, which puts it in a murky category: military-origin, classified-network-hosted, but without the provenance trail that would anchor it to a specific incident or platform.
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, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.
Video Duration: 00:10:48 Video Description: This media was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network, and is presented as received.
00:01-00:04: A black screen appears featuring the phrase, “[CALLSIGN] recording - 8x speed possible changes of shape stabilized and enhanced 38 secs.” 00:05-00:41: An area of contrast remains centered within the frame. Visual elements of the sensor display enter and exit the frame intermittently throughout. 00:42-00:45: A black screen appears featuring the phrase, “UAP recording original speed stabilized, sharpened, contrast enhanced 5 min.” 00:46-05:45: An area of contrast remains generally within the center of the frame. The sensor cycles contrast modes multiple times. 05:46-05:48: A black screen appears featuring the phrase, “UAP recording original clip 5 minutes.” 05:49-10:48: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast keeping it generally within the center of the frame. The overall quality of the footage progressively degrades throughout.
