The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of five seconds of video footage from a full-motion video (FMV) camera aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, described the UAP as consisting of a “misshapen and uneven ball of white light,” and reported that a “light/glare halo effect” occurred at the top of the FMV feed.

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of six seconds of video footage from a full-motion video (FMV) camera aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, described the UAP as consisting of a “misshapen and uneven ball of white light,” and reported that a “light/glare halo effect” occurred at the top of the FMV feed.
Official page text
- Video description: 00:02-00:04: An area of irregular color and brightness, mainly consisting of white and red highlights, appears near the center of the top edge of the sensor display. The area extends to a width of approximately one-third of the horizontal frame, with a vertical area comprising approximately one-sixth of the viewing area. Overall, its shape is best described as a horizontally-oriented half-oval bisected along its major axis.

Document summary
A declassified USCENTCOM mission report (MISREP) covering an October 2024 ISR sortie over Syria. During full-motion-video collection at 1559Z the aircrew observed a UAP described as a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light"; repeated light/glare flashes crossed the camera feed between 1559Z and 1644Z.
Official page text
- The UAP appeared as multiple light/glare flashes and a halo effect crossing the FMV camera feed at several timestamps (1559Z, 1602Z, 1609Z, 1620Z, 1644Z).
- Recorded UAP physical state "Plasma"; propulsion unknown; not under intelligent control.
- Aircrew assessed the event as benign with no mission impact and explicitly judged it not to be a lasing (laser) event.
Official note
- Identifying details (unit, exact location, callsigns) are redacted; the cause of the glare was not determined.
