Official Description

46. DOW-UAP-PR094, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) - HD 2020-02-13” 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 2020-02-13,” is likely derived from an electro-optical and 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 February 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:59 Video Description: 00:00-01:46: No content. 01:47-01:51: An area of contrast enters the frame in the upper right corner and leaves the field-of-view on the left side of the screen. 01:52-02:10: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 02:11-02:17: The sensor zooms out. The area of contrast is visible in the lower right quarter of the screen. 02:18-02:28: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast. 02:29-04:38: The sensor zooms in and out several times. 04:40-04:43: The sensor changes modalities, causing the area of contrast to lose distinctiveness against the background. 04:44-04:53: The sensor changes back to electro-optical collection, again rendering the area of contrast visible near the center of the screen. 04:54-04:59: The sensor zooms in and out. The area of contrast is briefly visible in the upper left of the screen. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.

Key Findings

• →AARO assessed the video was likely captured by an electro-optical and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in the CENTCOM AOR in 2020.
• →The video was uploaded to a classified network in February 2020 and was identified as part of a collection of potentially UAP-related records requested by eight House members on March 6, 2026.
• →AARO noted that many materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, limiting their evidentiary reliability.
• →The sensor tracked an unidentified 'area of contrast' that entered and exited the frame, with the sensor panning, zooming, and switching modalities during the observation.
• →When the sensor changed modalities, the area of contrast lost distinctiveness against the background, suggesting it may have been a thermal or reflective anomaly rather than a solid object.
