Why is the automod taking a video as a link post?

So I'm trying to post a video on r/UFOs. I click Images And Video, browse my files and upload the file. Then automod immediatly deletes the post and sends me this:

"Hey,

It looks like you made a link post in r/UFOs. As a reminder, we now require a submission statement (comment on your own post) for all link posts. Submission statements may contain a summary or description of the content, why it is relevant to UFOs, your personal perspectives, or all of the above.

Your statement MUST be at least 150 characters (not words) in length. Please do this or your post will be removed within 30 minutes.

Thank you!"

I attempt to do the "submission statement" but then I notice the post is already deleted before the mentioned 30 minutes. I am clearly not posting a stray link, but a video file directly from my files browser. The deletion message states "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters" which would made sense if it was actually a stray link, but clearly isnt.

Rural Sonora, México. 27/06/26, 12:07 AM

Light went out for several hours before, during and after that day. It made no sound and seemed to have a circular/spherical shape. Hovered around the area for about 3 minutes and then flied away. Recorded on an iPhone 13 but it was very far away and everything around was very dark.
