DOW-UAP-PR089, "31 AUG [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP part2"
Key moments
Official description
On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network. Many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “31 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP part2,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in August 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:58
✦ AI visual analysis
Grainy grayscale FLIR footage nearly identical in composition to pr077, with blue bracket tracking markers at the frame corners and a blue crosshair near center. A faint, small white point sits just to the right of the crosshair against a mottled gray background -- the tracked area of contrast described in the official notes. Black rectangular boxes redact portions of the frame edges (likely telemetry overlays). Sensor noise and low contrast dominate the image.

Official video description
00:00-00:45: The sensor tracks an area of contrast near the center of the screen. 00:46-01:09: Another area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the lower right side of the screen. The sensor pans to track both areas, but the second area of contrast exits the field-of-view. 01:10-01:22: The sensor cycles contrast modes, causing the area of contrast to momentarily lose distinctiveness against the background. 01:23-02:35: Several areas of contrast enter and exit the frame. 02:36-02:41: The areas of contrast become indistinct against the background. 02:42-03:22: The areas of contrast become distinguishable again. 03:23-03:43: Several areas of contrast enter and exit the screen. 03:44-03:48: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 03:49-04:01: The area of contrast exits the sensor field of view from the right side of the frame. 04:02-04:58: No content.
