PR-002, Resolved as Migratory Birds, Africa 2024
This video file is part of AARO's Official UAP Imagery release. According to the releasing agency, in 2024 the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), consisting of one minute and eighteen seconds of infrared sensor footage from a U.S. military platform. AARO assesses with high confidence that the objects depicted are almost certainly (≥95% likelihood) a group of migratory birds, basing its assessment on the objects' strong morphological consistency with other resolved bird imagery and flight behavior corresponding to known migration routes. An external Intelligence Community partner concurred with AARO's assessment. The media shows a distant unified aerial object moving steadily across the sky, with some pilot communication with an air traffic controller.
