The official record
Official copy at DVIDSOfficial 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, “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
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.
