Official UAP Imagery and UFO Videos
Official UAP imagery, official UAP videos, and Pentagon UFO videos released or indexed by government source channels.
Overview
Official UAP and UFO imagery in the archive includes public videos, images, and PDFs with a visible chain back to the public source where each record was released. It now also bridges users searching for official UAP videos, Pentagon UFO videos, declassified UFO footage, and AARO UAP videos.
Key facts
- The archive links to direct source files and official embeds when available.
- This topic connects official UAP imagery with official UAP videos and Pentagon UFO videos.
- Video records keep DVIDS metadata such as video ID, VIRIN, duration, dates, and location when available.
- Original PDFs and images are kept with their related case records when available.
Why it matters
Official imagery is easiest to verify when the original asset, metadata, source page, and related case context stay together.

Puerto Rico Objects
On April 26, 2013, an infrared sensor onboard a U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft captured footage of a UAP event over the Rafael Hernandez Airport near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The footage appears to depict a UAP moving at high speed, splitting into two objects, and entering and exiting the water before disappearing into the ocean off Puerto Rico's northwestern coast. AARO assesses with high confidence that the objects did not demonstrate anomalous speeds or flight behaviors. An Intelligence Community partner's reconstruction of the flight path and look angle from the infrared sensor indicates that the video instead depicts two objects traveling near each other rather than a single object splitting into two. This reconstruction also demonstrates that the objects traveled in a straight line at wind speed and did not enter the water at any point.

Mt. Etna Object
In December 2018, a forward-looking infrared video sensor aboard an uncrewed U.S. Air Force platform captured this footage while operating over the Mediterranean Sea. This footage depicts an object that appears to be transiting a plume of superheated gas and ash produced by an eruption of Mt. Etna, a volcano in Sicily, Italy. AARO coordinated an interagency and international analytical effort that determined that optical effects from the intense atmospheric conditions near the volcano distorted the video, causing the object to appear to transit the plume. AARO assesses with moderate confidence that the footage instead depicts a balloon approximately 170 kilometers from the caldera traveling at wind speed and direction.
Related questions
Are these UAP and UFO records official government documents?
The archive is an independent index, but it preserves links to public government source files, official DVIDS records, PDFs, images, and metadata where available. Important claims should be checked against the original source linked with each record.
Did the Pentagon confirm UFO videos?
U.S. defense channels have released or acknowledged several public UAP videos and records. That does not mean every object is identified as extraordinary; the archive keeps the official source page and case context together so each record can be checked directly.
Where do the source files come from?
Source files come from public records indexed in the archive, including official DVIDS pages, government PDFs, images, and related metadata where available. File pages link back to the original asset or source page whenever the source record provides one.
What are Pentagon UFO videos?
In this archive, Pentagon UFO videos are official UAP video records connected to defense source pages, AARO case context, DVIDS metadata, or War.gov source rows. The phrase is used as a search bridge while the original record title remains visible.
