DOW-UAP-PR085 / 16 SEPT 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] OBSERVES UAP

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, “16 Sept 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] observes UAP,” is likely derived from a full-motion video camera 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 September 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:44 Video Description: 00:00-01:17: No Content. 01:18-02:24: An area of contrast enters the bottom of the screen and moves up the screen as the sensor pans and zooms to hold it in the center of the frame. 02:25-04:29: The sensor zooms in, with the area of contrast remaining generally within the center of the frame. 04:30-04:44: The area of contrast leaves the field-of-view in the lower left-hand quarter of the screen.
