DISPUTEDCRAFT
The Erratic Sphere
2022 · Europe (EUCOM)
WHAT IT IS
A bright round object is tracked past clouds for nearly four minutes, slipping in and out of frame.
THE CASE FOR
Uploaded as 'Spherical UAP Erratic movement', one of the clearest objects in the releases.
THE CASE AGAINST
AARO states that the digital alterations 'significantly influence' the object's apparent performance, so the erratic movement may belong to the edit. 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.
