Claim 4: “The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office consisting of 1 minute and 39 seconds of video recorded by an electro-optical and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025.”

DISPUTED

While one source (KTVU FOX 2) matches the claim's description of a 1 minute and 39 second video, another source (TikTok) describes a report from the same office (AARO) but specifies a different duration (4 minutes and 57 seconds) and a different year (2023). The claim specifies 2025, which is not explicitly confirmed across the provided evidence, leading to a contradiction in the details of the report.
