Official summary, as published

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 2 minutes and 36 seconds of video footage from an electro-optical (right) and infrared (left) sensor aboard a

U.S. military platform in 2022. An accompanying mission report, DOW-UAP-D109, described the UAP as “traveling at various speeds between 80-180 miles per hour.”

Video Description:

00:00-00:12: An area of contract enters the sensor field-of-view from the lower right of the frame. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame.

00:13-00:14: The sensor switches modes to display an infrared (left) and electro-optical (right) feed.

00:15-00:18: The object enters the frame from the lower right, transiting the sensor field-of-view and exiting from the upper left.

00:19-00:20: The sensor switches to infrared mode, panning to track an area of contrast.

00:21-00:27: The sensor switches modes to display an infrared (left) and electro-optical (right) feed.

00:28-00:52: The sensor switches to infrared mode, panning to track an area of contrast. 00:52-00:57: A second area of contrast briefly enters the sensor field-of-view.

00:58-01:16: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast.

01:17-01:21: The sensor switches modes to display an infrared (left) and electro-optical (right) feed. The sensor pans to track the object. The object leaves the sensor field-of-view from the left edge of the frame.

01:22-01:27: No content.

01:28-01:31: The sensor switches to infrared mode. No content.

01:32-02:36: The area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the lower left of the frame. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, intermittently losing contact with it.
