DOW-UAP-PR090, "24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) Observes UAP"
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, “24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) Observes UAP,” 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: 00:04:57
✦ AI visual analysis
Black-and-white daytime aerial/EO surveillance footage looking straight down at farmland: a patchwork of rectangular fields, dirt roads, scattered buildings, and a canal or river lined with trees. A tiny bright white point of contrast (a small glint or dot) is visible within one of the fields, easily lost against the terrain detail. Black rectangular redaction boxes obscure parts of the frame edges. No aerial object is distinguishable apart from this small bright dot on the ground.
