Navy UAP videos from the Pacific Ocean (2019)
Also known as Pacific 2019 UAPTF videos
Five videos from the Pacific Ocean in 2019, passed by the Navy's UAP Task Force to AARO when the office was set up and released in PURSUE release 05 (PR123–PR127). All were recorded at the same time: three are phone or camera recordings of a ship's or aircraft's infrared display, two are low-light video of several lights taken by a service member.
The release gives no ship, date or exact location, and the clips were altered before they reached AARO; the descriptions are neutral and make no assessment.
