Pentagon Releases New UAP Video Accompanied by Navy Range Fouler Report From 2020

 

The Defense Department has released an infrared video and accompanying Navy Range Fouler Debrief documenting a brief 2020 encounter with a small, reflective unidentified anomalous phenomenon during military operations.

The Department of Defense has publicly released another unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) case through the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), consisting of an 11-second infrared video recorded aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020 and an accompanying Navy Range Fouler Debrief. The materials were included in the latest tranche of records released under the government’s public UAP disclosure initiative. The Pentagon released 40 new UFO files on Friday, July 10, 2026, which included 19 videos.

According to AARO, the video was submitted by United States Northern Command after being captured by an infrared sensor during military operations. The agency notes that the footage had already been digitally altered before it was reported to AARO and is presented exactly as received. During the brief clip, a small area of contrast appears near the center of the frame before the sensor changes operating modes, causing the object to move rapidly within the camera’s field of view and then disappear from view. AARO cautions that its video description is provided solely for informational purposes and “should not be interpreted as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.”

The accompanying document is a Navy Range Fouler report, also known as a Range Fouler Debrief. It is a standardized form used by the U.S. Navy to document any unauthorized intrusion or activity that interrupts pre-planned training or military operations in controlled, restricted airspace. These reports record the observations of military personnel but are not, by themselves, investigative conclusions regarding the nature of the object observed.

In this case, the reporting military operator described the object as “quite small” and said it continued “in a constant direction.” The report characterizes its shape as “indistinguishable” while noting what appeared to be a metallic appearance with a reflective underside. AARO emphasizes that these descriptions reflect the observer’s subjective impressions at the time of the encounter and “should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.”
 
The released report contains redactions intended to protect witness identities, military facilities, and operationally sensitive information. According to the Defense Department, those redactions do not pertain to information concerning the nature or existence of the reported UAP itself.

 

Although the newly released materials do not identify the object or reach any conclusions about what was observed, they add another documented military encounter to the growing body of UAP records being made public. Like many recent releases, the significance lies less in resolving the mystery than in documenting how the U.S. military records, preserves, and now increasingly discloses reports of unexplained aerial observations.
