The Formation over Water
Undated · Over water
WHAT IT IS
Four bright objects move together low over water in infrared, replayed through filters and zooms for eight minutes.
THE CASE FOR
Uploaded as 'UAP USO Formation' (an unidentified submerged object), it holds four distinct shapes in formation.
THE CASE AGAINST
No date, place or report. AARO says it was digitally altered before upload, and the picture degrades as it goes. It comes from a set AARO found on a classified network and says lacks a substantiated chain of custody.
WHERE IT STANDS
Disputed. Serious questions remain about how it was made or what it shows, and neither side has settled them.
