Incident · February 2022 · Karaganda International Airport, Kazakhstan
Karaganda Airport video
Also known as Karaganda 2022, Kazakhstan UAP video
A 17-second video titled as an intelligence information report about a UAP near Karaganda International Airport in Kazakhstan shows a bright light with fading trails while the camera pans and zooms. It surfaced in 2026 among material the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office located on a classified network after eight members of the House requested 51 potentially UAP-related records.
AARO's own description limits what it can show: the clip probably came from an ordinary phone camera in February 2022, it was digitally altered before anyone uploaded it to the classified network in April 2023, and its chain of custody is not established. There is no accompanying report in the release describing who filmed it or what was seen.
