Authorities in Louisville are reviewing newly surfaced security footage that appears to show an unidentified figure boarding a UPS cargo aircraft only minutes before its scheduled departure. The clip, which began circulating online late Wednesday, has not yet been authenticated by investigators, but it has intensified public speculation surrounding the circumstances of the incident.

According to officials familiar with the review, the individual in the footage moves quickly along the tarmac and enters the aircraft through a service access point typically restricted to authorized personnel. Investigators have not confirmed whether the person was connected to airport operations, a passenger manifest discrepancy, or an unauthorized intrusion.

Police described the figure only as “a person of interest” and emphasized that the footage alone is not sufficient to draw conclusions about motive or involvement. “We’re examining every angle,” a spokesperson for the department said. “Right now, the priority is verifying the material and establishing a timeline.”

A joint task force including local police, airport security, and federal aviation authorities is analyzing the video frame by frame. Officials said additional footage from nearby cameras, badge logs, and flight crew reports will be reviewed to determine how the individual gained access to the restricted area.

UPS has issued a brief statement saying it is cooperating fully with the investigation and cannot comment further until authorities complete their preliminary assessment.

Public updates are expected once investigators verify the authenticity of the clip and establish whether the shadowy figure played any role in the events that followed.
