Official Conclusion

No analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination has been made by AARO regarding the event's validity, nature, or significance.

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, “May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP,” 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 July 2020. Video Duration: 00:00:30 Video Description: 00:00-00:07: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast. 00:07-00:30: Several areas of contrast enter and exit the field-of-view. The sensor adjusts contrast settings. 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-PR093 and DOW-UAP-PR095 are not duplicates. Both videos share an uploader-defined title and depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct.

Key Findings

→AARO assesses the video is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within CENTCOM AOR in 2020.
→The video was uploaded to a classified network by an unidentified user in July 2020 and lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody.
→The 30-second video depicts a sensor panning to track areas of contrast, with several such areas entering and exiting the field of view while the sensor adjusts contrast settings.
→The video was identified as part of a collection of 51 potentially UAP-related records requested by eight U.S. House of Representatives members on March 6, 2026.
→AARO explicitly notes that DOW-UAP-PR093 and the related DOW-UAP-PR095 are distinct videos despite sharing a similar uploader-defined title and highly similar subject matter.

UAP Insight Analysis— AI generated, not official

This document is an official AARO description and metadata record for a 30-second declassified infrared sensor video, designated DOW-UAP-PR093, uploaded to a classified network in July 2020. The video purportedly originates from a U.S. military platform operating in the CENTCOM area of responsibility (Gulf of Arabia region) and depicts multiple areas of contrast tracked by an infrared sensor. AARO's assessment is limited to probable provenance and explicitly disclaims any analytical or investigative conclusions about the event's nature or significance.

Analyst Notes

The video lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, undermining evidentiary reliability. AARO explicitly declines to make any analytical or investigative conclusions about the event. The 'areas of contrast' visible in infrared footage are not confirmed to be physical objects and may reflect sensor artifacts, temperature differentials, or other mundane phenomena. The uploader-defined title (not an official designation) provides the UAP characterization, not AARO. No sensor corroboration beyond the single infrared video is referenced.
