AARO’s 32 Official UAP Videos: The Complete PR-Series Catalogue with Resolution Status

AARO’s official imagery page at aaro.mil currently hosts 32 declassified UAP videos. The library includes the PR-series from EUCOM and AFRICOM, legacy cases from the pre-AARO era, and the famous FOIA-released Navy videos. Here is every case, its source command, its footage duration, and its resolution status.

PR-Series: Africa Command (PR-001 to PR-003)

  • PR-001 — Africa 2022 (Unresolved): AFRICOM, 31 seconds IR, heat signature consistent with physical object, insufficient data for conclusive assessment.
  • PR-002 — Africa 2024 (Resolved: Migratory Birds): AFRICOM, 1 min 18 sec IR. AARO assessed migratory birds with ≥95% confidence. IC partner concurred.
  • PR-003 — Africa 2023 (Resolved: Migratory Birds): AFRICOM, 4 min 58 sec IR. Heat signature initially consistent with physical object; later resolved as birds.

PR-Series: European Command (PR-004 to PR-018)

  • PR-004 to PR-006, PR-009, PR-010 — Europe 2022 (Resolved: Balloon): Five EUCOM reports from 2022, ranging from 20 to 475 seconds of IR footage. All resolved as balloons with ≥95% confidence based on morphology and wind-speed drift behavior.
  • PR-007 — Europe 2022 (Closed: Not Anomalous): EUCOM, 6 seconds IR. Assessed as a prosaic aircraft. Cannot be conclusively identified but does not meet criteria for further analysis.
  • PR-008 — Europe 2022 (Unresolved): EUCOM, 1 min 21 sec IR. Cannot determine if signature is from a physical object, heat differential, or sensor error.
  • PR-011 — Europe 2021 (Undergoing Analysis): EUCOM, 2 min 8 sec IR. Physical object likely present. Analysis of physical attributes and performance characteristics is ongoing as of January 2026.
  • PR-012, PR-013, PR-014, PR-015 — Europe 2022 (Unresolved): Four EUCOM reports, 13 to 55 seconds. All depict physical objects assessed as real but unremarkable — cannot be identified with available data.
  • PR-016 — Europe 2023 (Resolved: Birds): EUCOM, 25 sec IR. Birds with >95% confidence. Pulsating IR return consistent with wing beats. Relative formation positioning consistent with energy conservation during flight.
  • PR-017 — Europe 2024 (Unresolved): EUCOM, 30 seconds from a cell phone camera. Insufficient data for any determination.
  • PR-018 — Europe 2024 (Unresolved): EUCOM, 10 min 30 sec IR. Physical object confirmed present. Morphology, performance, and behavior assessed as unremarkable — but source cannot be identified.

Legacy Cases

  • Middle East 2023 (Unresolved): 8 min 15 sec IR from MQ-9 platform. Thermal contrast, may be physical object, cannot resolve without corroborating data.
  • Middle East 2024 (Unresolved): 6 min 42 sec IR. Same description. No multi-modal sensor data available.
  • Middle East Red Balloon 2024 (Resolved): 1 min 36 sec, consumer-grade reflective foil balloon, ≥95% confidence.
  • Middle East Object (MQ-9) — Unresolved: Not anomalous but object remains unidentified.
  • Al Taqaddum (2017) — Resolved: Balloon cluster. 17 min IR from blimp over Iraq Air Base.
  • Mt. Etna (2018) — Resolved: Balloon + optical distortion. ~170km from volcano. Camera distortion made it appear to transit superheated plume.
  • Puerto Rico (2013) — Resolved: Two separate objects at wind speed. Never entered water. IC reconstruction confirmed flight path.
  • GoFast (2015) — Unresolved: F/A-18F Navy video. Famous case.
  • Gimbal (year unspecified) — Unresolved: F/A-18 FOIA release.
  • FLIR (year unspecified) — Unresolved: F/A-18 FOIA release.
  • Navy 2021 Flyby — Unresolved: Cockpit camera, demonstrates typical military approach speed to unknown object.
  • Western U.S. Objects — Resolved: Three commercial aircraft at distance.
  • South Asian Objects (x2) — Resolved: MQ-9 filming another MQ-9; “atmospheric wake” was sensor artifact from video compression.
