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, “08 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] UAP observation,” 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: 00:04:52

AI visual analysis

Two heavily grained, black-and-white infrared frames show a uniform textured surface with no clear terrain features, likely sea or ground clutter viewed through a noisy FLIR sensor. A faint crosshair marker sits near the center of the frame, with small black redaction boxes along the left and right edges. In the second frame, a faint diffuse bright glow appears in the lower right corner, possibly the beginning of a tracked contact entering the field of view.
