# Release 6 Video Corpus Triage

## Answer First

All 16 MP4 files received a six-state raw survey. Fifteen contain visual encounter or historical film material; one carries Ruppelt's audio presentation. The survey supports a release-wide allocation of attention, not a claim that every frame or audio passage was examined.

## Source Basis

The table accounts for every audiovisual catalog record. Samples are at 3%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 97% of each released file. These source-derived sheets apply no contrast enhancement. Exact sampled timestamps are linked below, and each sheet preserves its frame labels. Sparse sampling can miss brief events, especially in the 15-minute Colorado recording; a hold is not a finding that no event exists anywhere in the clip.

A strict physical-motion promotion requires persistence, sufficient duration, correspondence to stable scene features and a distinct analytical role. PR133, PR135 and PR143 earn bounded close-up tests because their raw features persist and answer different questions. None supplies a complete scene-registered, range-calibrated trajectory. Their reports therefore stop at raw appearance and screen coordinates rather than claiming a successful physical-motion promotion.

## Selection Rationale

PR133 tests a single contact with ground context and a written speed claim. PR135 tests whether a report of six objects has a stable visual multiplicity basis. PR143 tests the difference between a tracked dark silhouette and a resolved physical hull. These roles justify focused attention without treating visual drama as a selection criterion.

The sea/cloud records remain distinct cases. No shared location label is used to infer the same date, vehicle, sensor pass or object. The Colorado videos are likewise not four independent confirmations of one event merely because they share a location family.

## Working Assessment

The disclosure-forward neutrality gate keeps extraordinary explanations available only as source-specific hypotheses. Ordinary optics, tracking, background changes, birds, aircraft and balloons remain controls. No enhancement-only feature is used, and no native-frame kinematics or physical classification is claimed. Independent registered trajectories and calibrated telemetry would upgrade the assessment; a reproducible conventional match would weaken an extraordinary interpretation.

## Follow-Up

For scene registration and telemetry tests, start with [C121 - Middle East PR133 and PR135 Raw Sequence Tests](/?open=Release_6%2FAnalysis%2FC121-Middle-East-PR133-and-PR135-Raw-Sequence-Tests.md) and [C122 - Yellow Sea PR143 Tracking and Surface Controls](/?open=Release_6%2FAnalysis%2FC122-Yellow-Sea-PR143-Tracking-and-Surface-Controls.md). For testimony and night-video limits, use [C123 - Colorado Witness Video and Transcript Boundaries](/?open=Release_6%2FAnalysis%2FC123-Colorado-Witness-Video-and-Transcript-Boundaries.md). For exact written associations, use [C119 - Release 6 Operational Reports and Exact Source Pairings](/?open=Release_6%2FAnalysis%2FC119-Release-6-Operational-Reports-and-Exact-Source-Pairings.md). A future continuous playback pass or denser whole-clip scan could identify candidates missed here; new candidates should receive the same raw persistence and registration tests.
