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, “Spherical UAP in clouds,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating above the Yellow Sea in January 2023. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.

Video Description:
00:00-00:06: No content.
00:07-00:08: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from left and exits near the center of the right side of the frame.
00:09-00:20: The sensor pans and cycles zoom levels multiple times.
00:21-00:31: An area of contrast enters the frame from the left side of the screen. The area of contrast becomes indistinguishable against the background.
00:32-00:34: The sensor zooms in. An area of contrast becomes distinguishable against the background near the center of the frame.
00:35-00:52: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast from left to right.
00:53-00:56: The sensor zooms in. An area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view from left to right in the bottom third of the frame.
00:57-01:10: No content.

AARO Comment: This media is a duplicate of DOW-UAP-PR57b, alternately titled, “[Platform] observes UAP in East China Sea 05 JAN 2023 INDOPACOM.” This discrepancy exists because two uploaders titled the underlying material differently on a classified network.
