Official Description
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 “2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 1 of 2,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in November 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in November 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:58 Video Description: 00:00-03:21: The sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast within the center of the field-of-view. The relative intensity of the area of contrast increases throughout the video. 03:15-03:17: A second area of contrast transits the top right corner of the sensor field-of-view. 03:22-04:58: The sensor pans from the first area of contrast to the second area of contrast and pans to keep it within the field-of-view. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance. AARO Comment: DOW-UAP-PR077 and DOW-UAP-PR078 are not duplicates. Both videos depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct.
Key Findings
This document is an official AARO description and metadata entry for a declassified infrared sensor video (DOW-UAP-PR077) released by the Department of War under the PURSUE program. The video, approximately five minutes in duration, was recorded on 2 November 2020 by a U.S. military infrared sensor platform operating in the CENTCOM area of responsibility, and depicts tracking of at least two distinct areas of contrast. AARO explicitly declines to offer analytical judgments regarding the nature or significance of the observed phenomena.
Analyst Notes
AARO explicitly states no analytical judgment or factual determination is offered regarding the event's validity, nature, or significance. The chain-of-custody for this video is not substantiated. The video was user-uploaded to a classified network, raising provenance concerns. No shape, size, speed, or altitude data is provided. The described phenomena (areas of contrast on infrared) are consistent with many mundane heat sources and cannot be characterized as anomalous based solely on this description.
