Official Description
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of five seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2022. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D10, described the observation as a “possible missile” moving across the field-of-view. The report also described four other objects not depicted in the video as “possible birds.” Video Description: At the two second mark, the video depicts an area of contrast moving from left to right across the bottom third of the sensor 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.
Key Findings
A five-second infrared sensor video submitted by U.S. Central Command to AARO depicting an unidentified object moving across the sensor field-of-view in the Middle East in May 2022. The accompanying mission report characterized the object as a 'possible missile' and noted four additional objects not visible in the video described as 'possible birds.' No definitive identification was reached.
Analyst Notes
The video is only five seconds in duration, limiting observational data. The mission report itself offers a mundane explanation — 'possible missile' — for the primary object, and 'possible birds' for four additional objects not even visible in the footage. Only sensor evidence is available; no human visual corroboration is described. The object is characterized merely as an 'area of contrast,' which is a minimal descriptor providing little basis for anomalous classification.
