DOW-UAP-PR099, "Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 1715Z"
Agency: Department of War
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 2023
Incident location: CENTCOM
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, “Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAPs on 23SEP19 at 1715Z,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2019. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in November 2019.Video Duration: 00:04:51Video Description:00:00-00:44: No Content.00:45-00:46: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view on the left side of the frame and exits the bottom of the frame in the lower left corner.00:47-01:07: No Content.01:08-01:25: An area of contrast appears from the left side of the frame. The sensor pans to hold the object in the center of its field-of-view.01:26-01:45: The sensor changes visual settings and continues to track the area of contrast.01:46-01:47: Another area of contrast enters the scene from the bottom of the frame.01:47-01:55: The screen flashes black before the sensor continues tracking the areas of contrast. Multiple areas of contrast enter and exit the field-of-view during this period. The sensor pans to track them.04:00-04:51: The screen flashes black for before continuing to track an area of contrast.This video description is provided for informational purposes only.

NASA-UAP-D009, Apollo 17 Audio Excerpt, December 7, 1972
Agency: NASA
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 12/7/72
Incident location: Cislunar Space
During the eleventh and final crewed mission in the Apollo program, Apollo 17 Commander Gene Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt, and Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans report seeing small lights outside the Apollo spacecraft during transit to the moon. The crew describe bright “particles” or “fragments” as being “jagged,” “angular,” and drifting near the Apollo spacecraft and the separated Saturn S-IVB stage. The Apollo 17 crew speculate that paint chips or ice chips are likely the source of these lights and note that they “twinkle” and move away from the Saturn S-IVB stage.
NASA-UAP-D010, Mercury Atlas 9 Audio Excerpt, May 15, 1963
Agency: NASA
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 5/15/63
Incident location: Low Earth Orbit
Approximately one hour and 41 minutes into the final and longest flight of Project Mercury, Mercury-Atlas 9 mission (MA-9) Faith 7 Pilot L. Gordon Cooper Jr. notes that he sees “John’s fireflies,” referring to John Glenn’s term from the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission. NASA later determined that the “fireflies” are attributable to frozen condensation separating from the spacecraft body. The white, green-hued appearance of this phenomenon results from sunlight reflecting off frozen condensation.
NASA-UAP-D011, Mercury Atlas 9 Audio Excerpt, May 15, 1963
Agency: NASA
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 5/15/63
Incident location: Low Earth Orbit
During the final and longest flight of Project Mercury, Mercury-Atlas 9 mission (MA-9) Faith 7 Pilot L. Gordon Cooper Jr. describes the brilliant blue of sunrise beneath the haze layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. As he approaches sunrise, he describes small, luminous, brilliant white particles drifting away from the spacecraft. Cooper describes observing “fireflies” after deploying beacons, which are spherical mission-related equipment with xenon strobe lights.
NASA-UAP-D012, Mercury Atlas 8 Audio Excerpt, October 3, 1962
Agency: NASA
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 10/3/62
Incident location: Low Earth Orbit
During the Mercury Atlas 8 mission, Sigma 7 pilot Walter M. “Wally” Schirra Jr. describes observing “little white objects that tend to come from the capsule itself and drift off.” Schirra later also refers to those objects as “particles” and “lathe shavings.” Schirra also describes seeing a burst of light in the window, whose source he cannot identify. He speculates that his observation corresponds with the moment the sun passes below the horizon during sunset.
NASA-UAP-D013, Mercury Atlas 7, May 24, 1962
Agency: NASA
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 5/24/62
Incident location: Low Earth Orbit
During the fourth crewed spaceflight and second orbital flight of Project Mercury, Mercury-Atlas 7 (MA-7), Aurora 7 pilot Scott Carpenter describes white particles in view that appear to move at “random” and “look exactly like snowflakes.” He describes these phenomena as reflective, and that some seemed to move faster than the Aurora 7 spacecraft.
NASA-UAP-D014, Mercury-Redstone 4, July 21, 1961
Agency: NASA
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 7/21/61
Incident location: North Atlantic Ocean
During the recovery of the fourth launch and second crewed spaceflight of Project Mercury, Mercury-Redstone 4 (MR-4) Liberty Bell 7, the recovery team discusses a dye pack in the water that did not activate.
