Western U.S. Objects
UAP Video: Western U.S. Objects
Analysis of the full motion video, combined with commercial flight data in the region, led AARO to assess that the objects were three separate commercial aircraft flying at a great distance from the infrared sensor. The radar tracks for commercial aircraft aligned with the objects, which were only seen as small dots due to their significant distance from the sensor.

Atmospheric Wake - South Asian Object (Sensor #1)
UAP Video: Atmospheric Wake - South Asian Object (Sensor #1)
An MQ-9 forward-looking infrared video sensor captured this footage in South Asia as it was recording another MQ-9. After analysis of the full motion video, inclusion of additional footage with a longer focal length, and analysis of commercial flight data in the region, AARO assesses that the object likely is a commercial aircraft and that the trailing cavitation is a sensor artifact resultant of video compression.

Atmospheric Wake - South Asian Object (Sensor #2)
UAP Video: Atmospheric Wake - South Asian Object (Sensor #2)
An MQ-9 forward-looking infrared video sensor captured this footage in South Asia as it was recording another MQ-9. After analysis of the full motion video, inclusion of additional footage with a longer focal length, and analysis of commercial flight data in the region, AARO assesses that the object likely is a commercial aircraft and that the trailing cavitation is a sensor artifact resultant of video compression.

Middle East Object
UAP Video: Middle East Object
This clip was taken by an MQ-9 in the Middle East, and while AARO assesses the object in the clip is not exhibiting anomalous behavior, the object remains unidentified.
Unresolved Case: Navy 2021 Flyby
UAP Video - Unresolved Case: Navy 2021 Flyby
This video, captured by the pilot in the cockpit of a Navy fighter jet, demonstrates the typical speed at which military aircraft may approach an unknown object.
