Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 24 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D35, described the UAP as small and circular, flying near the surface of the ocean toward land. Video Description: 00:02: The sensor narrows its field-of-view to zoom in on an area of contrast near the center of the screen. 00:03-00:19: The sensor tracks the area of contrast as it moves against the ocean background. 00:20: As the background scene transitions from being predominantly water to land, the area of contrast becomes indistinguishable.

Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of two minutes and 57 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D33, described the UAP as flying near the surface of the ocean and making multiple “90-degree turns” at approximately 80 miles per hour. Video Description: 00:04: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the bottom left quarter of the screen. 00:07-00:19: The area of contrast moves back and forth horizontally across the field-of-view as the sensor pans to track it. 00:20-01:00: The area of contrast remains generally centered within the sensor field-of-view. 01:00-02:01: The sensor designates the area of contrast with a blue reticle, synchronizing its motion with the area of contrast’s relative position. 02:02-02:21: The sensor engages a contrast filter to better differentiate the area of contrast from the background. 02:22: The area of contrast becomes indistinguishable against the background, and the reticle drops its lock. 02:27-02:57: After losing lock, the sensor rapidly cycles zoom levels and contrast thresholds.

Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, January 2024
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of one minute and five seconds of video footage captured via multiple sensor modalities aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D7, described the UAP as “diamond-shaped” and moving at approximately 434 knots. The observer also reported that the UAP was only detectable via short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensor. Video Description: The screen is split into two viewing areas for the first ten seconds of the video, with the right side displaying electro-optical footage and the left side displaying SWIR footage. 00:04: An area of contrast becomes distinguishable against the background in the center of the right frame. 00:10: The display shifts to a full-screen view of the SWIR feed to better focus on the area of contrast. 00:55: The area of contrast remains generally within the center of the sensor field-of-view. The area of contrast visually resembles an inverted teardrop with a vertically linear trailing mass suspended below. 00:56: The operator switches the sensor modality to visible spectrum, losing the subject against the background. 00:57-01:05: The operator switches the sensor modality to SWIR (Black-Hot) but does not reacquire the area of contrast.
