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, “USCG C-144 Tyndall UAP 2 TIC TAC IR hot 24 April 2024,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. Coast Guard platform operating in the Southeastern United States in 2024. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.

This U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP) from 33 SOS covers an Air Force ISR flight on 25 January 2024 that took off from and returned to LGLR. It was declassified in October 2025 and released to AARO. At 0509Z, while in transit, the crew saw one UAP on the SWIR camera. They described it as a round diamond shape with a straight, non-maneuvering tail or probe, moving at about 434 knots. The event lasted about two minutes, and the observer judged the object benign.
This declassified U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP) records an Air Force Special Operations ISR flight by the 3rd Special Operations Squadron from OMAM on 6 to 7 June 2024 under Operation Enduring Sentinel. Weather prevented it from reaching its tasked station, and during two scanning tasks it watched for dhow traffic. On the return leg the crew recorded one UAP, a glowing, hot, spherical object with a vertical pole beneath it, flying straight just above the water at 140 knots. The crew assessed it as benign.
This declassified U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP), released to AARO after review in June 2025, covers an Air Force surveillance flight by the 124th Attack Squadron on 14 July 2024. Most of the flight was intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance work in support of NAVCENT and AFCENT. At 0517Z the crew saw one UAP flying a straight path at low altitude, heading northwest faster than the aircraft. They followed it until it was too far away to track. The observer judged it benign and reported no effects on people or equipment.
This declassified U.S. Central Command mission report (MISREP) describes an AC-130 type armed overwatch sortie flown from OKAS on 20 September 2024 under Operation Inherent Resolve. While the crew was doing a weapons calibration in Ayn al Asad Airbase's restricted operating zone, the weapons systems officer and combat systems officer saw an unidentified object fly through the aircraft's sensors at high speed after an AGM-176 was released. The object caused an infrared lens flare that pointed to a significant heat source. The crew assessed it as benign, and it was not seen again. The pages were declassified on 24 October 2025 and approved for release to AARO.
