After several seconds of a blank screen, bright and dark patches enter from the top. They cross the frame and disappear at the bottom. A thermal camera turns to follow them, keeping them near the center most of the time.
The one-minute video was filmed in the Middle East in 2025. An accompanying report described six spherical objects that appeared agile and frequently changed direction. But the video itself shows only moving areas, not shapes that would identify what they were.
The Blank Screen Fills
For the first few seconds, the screen is blank. Then bright and dark patches appear near the top, move downward, and disappear past the bottom edge. These are the areas the camera tracks.
The camera turns to keep them near the center of the frame. For much of the video, the pattern continues: the spots enter, cross the screen, and the camera shifts to follow them. The video does not show what lies beyond the camera’s field of view.
Six Spheres, According to the Report
U.S. Central Command provided the report about the sighting along with the video. The accompanying report described six small, spherical objects. They were characterized as agile and as frequently changing direction.
The person who filed the report estimated that the objects were traveling at about 770 kilometers per hour. That estimate appears in the report, but it does not explain how it was reached. The video alone also cannot establish their speed or identify the objects.
The Tracking Stops
Near the end of the video, the camera changes its magnification, and the screen goes blank again. The footage ends without showing what happened to the objects described in the report.
What Remains Unknown
It is not known what the objects were or what caused the movement seen in the video. The published information offers no possible conventional explanation, nor does it explain how the speed was calculated.
The video ends on a blank screen, with the sensor no longer tracking anything visible.
