What was reported
Uploader-titled 'UAP USO Formation' (USO = unidentified submerged object), assessed by AARO as likely from an infrared sensor on a US platform, uploaded to a classified network June 2024, with no location or date recoverable. The 8-minute-16-second file is digitally altered with multiple apparent cuts, contrast filters, and zoom changes, and video quality degrades over time; the description notes the video may cut back to an earlier portion near the end.

Why this rating Release 2 (unlike release 1's aircrew-submitted MISREP-paired videos): these files were found by AARO on a classified network after 8 House members requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records on 6 March 2026; AARO states many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. Uploader-supplied titles (often dramatic: 'instant acceleration', 'Cigar Shaped', 'erratic movement') are distinct from and not confirmed by AARO's own neutral video description. No date or location recoverable at all, heavy editing with likely repeated/looped segments, and video quality that degrades over time, poor evidentiary quality independent of the uploader's 'USO Formation' framing.

What the file claims
- Unverified
The video appears to cut multiple times and possibly loop back to an earlier segment near its end, which the official description flags explicitly rather than treating the footage as one continuous observation.
