Official summary, as published

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, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) HD_20220613,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the United States Central Command area of responsibility in June 2022. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2022.

Video Duration: 00:04:45

Video Description:

00:00-00:10: The sensor pans from right to left tracking an area of contrast moving towards the center of the field-of-view, before losing distinctiveness against the background.

00:11-00:14: The sensor zooms in. An area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view, entering from the right and exiting from the left side of the frame.

00:15-00:43: The sensor zooms out to track an area of contrast.

00:44-00:47: The sensor zooms in. An area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view, entering from the right and exiting from the left side of the frame.

00:48-01:05: The sensor cycles its zoom settings multiple times.

01:06-01:13: A small area of contrast transits from the right to the center of the sensor field-of-view.

01:14-01:18: The sensor zooms in on an area of contrast. The area of contrast transits from the right to the center of the frame while the sensor pans up.

01:19-02:05: The sensor zooms and pans to track the area of contrast until it exits the field-of-view at the top of the display.

02:06-03:42: No content.

03:43-03:47: Several areas of contrast become visible near the center of the sensor field-of-view.

03:48-03:50: No content.

03:51-04:00: Four small areas of contrast become visible in the center of the sensor field-of-view. The sensor pans to track the areas of contrast.

04:01-04:21: The sensor cycles its zoom level out and pans to the right to track an area of contrast in the bottom right of the field-of-view.

04:22-04:39: The sensor cycles its zoom level to focus on an area of contrast multiple times.

04:40-04:43: The sensor switches modalities and refocuses on an area of contrast centered in its field-of-view.
