What was reported
Uploader-titled 'Spherical UAP pulsing over water', assessed by AARO as likely from an infrared sensor on a US platform, uploaded to a classified network June 2024, with no date or location recoverable. AARO's neutral description gives no indication of 'pulsing' behavior, describing only a sustained area of contrast that briefly switches contrast modes partway through.

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; the uploader's 'pulsing' claim is not reflected in AARO's own neutral description.

What the file claims
- Unverified
AARO's neutral description does not corroborate the uploader's claim of 'pulsing' behavior, describing only a sustained centered contrast area with a brief sensor mode switch.
