Two types of video, different evidentiary weight

Not all of these records carry the same provenance. Understanding the difference matters before drawing conclusions.

Tranche 1 (May 8, 2026) — Standard AARO submissions

Twenty-eight videos submitted through official AARO channels by U.S. military commands. Each has a corresponding mission report, a chain of custody, and a formal AARO-authored video description. These are the most reliable entries in the collection.

Tranche 2 (May 22, 2026) — Congressional classified-network batch

On March 6, 2026, eight House members requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held on a classified network. AARO located responsive materials. Critically, AARO explicitly states that many records lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. Video titles are uploader-defined, not official AARO designations. Among the T2 videos, some have DVIDS entries with formal descriptions; others were released only through war.gov without DVIDS archiving.

AARO on T2: "Many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody." Not a dismissal, an honest limitation. Treat T2 as informative but unverified.

Tranche 3 (June 12, 2026) — FBI civilian cases and NASA audio

Six FBI records (four civilian-witness videos from the Northeastern orb cases, with official FBI descriptions and witness-credibility assessments, plus two government-produced digital recreations of the Western U.S. Event, clearly marked as illustrations, not photographs) and three NASA audio records, including a 1962 Walter Cronkite interview with astronaut Gordon Cooper. The FBI videos are hosted here from the public-domain war.gov release; the NASA audio is embedded from DVIDS.

Tranche 4 (July 10, 2026) — Additional DoD tactical clips

Nineteen additional Department of War tactical clips, each with its official AARO description and DVIDS player. They span the Pacific (Yellow Sea, East and South China Sea, 2023 to 2025), the Middle East (2023), and, echoing the new Navy Range Fouler reports, the U.S. East Coast, Gulf, and Atlantic (2015 to 2020).
