This redacted video, submitted by the Department of War, carries the uploader-defined title "Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022." AARO assesses that it is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the United States European Command area of responsibility in August 2022.

The source notes that many of the responsive materials found on the classified network lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, and says a user uploaded this video there in June 2024. The description does not identify what the object was.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

This media was digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network, and is presented as received.

00:00-00:45: The video features an area of contrast generally within the center the frame. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. Digital alterations to the video footage significantly influence the area of contrast’s apparent performance characteristics.
00:46-03:57: The video appears to cut, refocusing on an area of contrast generally within the center of the frame. The area of contrast intermittently passes in and out of frame as the sensor pans to track it.
