Six Mysterious Objects Race Across Middle East Skies At 480 MPH

United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, consisting of one minute of infrared video recorded from a U.S. military platform in 2025.

An accompanying mission report described the phenomenon as “six small spherical objects grouped together,” with behavior characterized as “seem[ingly] agile” and “frequently changing direction.” The reporter estimated their speed at 480 miles per hour.

The infrared sensor recorded several areas of contrast moving through its field of view before panning to track them between 11 and 47 seconds. The sensor later changed its level of magnification, with no content recorded from 48 seconds to one minute.

The report does not make an analytical judgment or investigative conclusion about the nature, validity or significance of the event.
