Puerto Rico Object (Aguadilla UAP Video)
This silent infrared video, published by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) as part of its Official UAP Imagery collection, documents a UAP event recorded on April 26, 2013 by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft over the Rafael Hernandez Airport near Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The footage appears to depict an object moving at high speed, splitting into two, and entering and exiting the water before disappearing into the ocean off Puerto Rico's northwestern coast. According to AARO, the office assesses with high confidence that the objects did not demonstrate anomalous speeds or flight behaviors. An Intelligence Community partner's reconstruction of the flight path and infrared sensor look angle indicates the video instead depicts two objects traveling near each other — rather than a single object splitting — moving in a straight line at wind speed and never entering the water. The page notes accompanying materials including a case resolution and a Digital Systems Toolkit reconstruction.
