Description from war.gov

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.

Machine summary

Written by Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic) on May 22, 2026, from the record's text and war.gov's description. It is not part of the record and can contain errors; check it against the document.

DOW-UAP-PR035 is a 24-second infrared video submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), documenting a UAP incident over Greece in October 2023. The object was described in accompanying mission report DoW-UAP-D35 as small and circular, flying low over the ocean surface toward land. The footage shows a sensor zooming in on an area of contrast, tracking it across an ocean background before the object becomes indistinguishable as the scene transitions to land.

The record is notable primarily for what it cannot confirm: the object's identity remains unresolved, and the transition from water to land causes the visual signature to be lost, leaving the event without a definitive conclusion. No OCR text is available, meaning no additional written analysis or metadata accompanies the video in this release. The case is classified as unresolved by AARO. The companion document DoW-UAP-D35 may contain further observational detail but is not included in this release.
