Summary

USCENTCOM submitted a report to AARO consisting of one minute and five seconds of video footage captured via multiple sensor modalities (electro-optical and short-wave infrared/SWIR) 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 SWIR sensor. Video Description: 00:00-00:10: Split-screen display — right side electro-optical, left side SWIR. 00:04: An area of contrast becomes distinguishable in the center of the right frame. 00:10: Display shifts to full-screen SWIR. 00:55: Area of contrast visually resembles an inverted teardrop with a vertically linear trailing mass suspended below. 00:56: Operator switches to visible spectrum, losing the subject. 00:57-01:05: Operator switches to SWIR (Black-Hot) but does not reacquire.
