Summary
U.S. Central Command submitted a 2024 UAP report to AARO consisting of about one minute of footage captured via multiple sensor modalities aboard a U.S. military platform. The accompanying mission report described the object as "diamond-shaped," moving at roughly 434 knots, and detectable only via short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensor.
Detail
This Department of War video file documents a UAP report submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2024. The footage runs one minute and five seconds and was captured via multiple sensor modalities aboard a U.S. military platform. An accompanying mission report (DoW-UAP-D7) described the object as "diamond-shaped," moving at approximately 434 knots, and reported that it was detectable only via short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensor.
The video description notes a split-screen view (electro-optical right, SWIR left) for the first ten seconds, after which the display switches to full-screen SWIR. The area of contrast resembles an inverted teardrop with a vertical trailing mass below; when the operator switches to the visible spectrum the subject is lost, and a later switch back to SWIR does not reacquire it. This description is provided for informational purposes only and should not be read as any conclusion about the event. The material was released through the PURSUE declassification.
