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 one minute and 34 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation. Video Description: 00:01: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the bottom third of the left side of the screen. 00:02-01:34: The sensor pans from left to right, tracking the area of contrast and keeping it generally centered 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.
Key Findings
A 94-second infrared sensor video submitted by U.S. Central Command to AARO depicting an unidentified area of contrast tracked by a military platform sensor over the Arabian Gulf in 2020. No oral or written description was provided by the reporter. AARO has not issued an analytical conclusion regarding the nature of the observed phenomenon.
Analyst Notes
The reporting party provided no oral or written characterization of the observed object, making independent analysis highly limited. The sole evidence is an infrared sensor track of an unspecified 'area of contrast' — a deliberately neutral descriptor that does not confirm any anomalous physical characteristics. No altitude, speed, size, or distance data is provided. Single-sensor observation with no corroborating radar, visual, or witness testimony. The official description explicitly disclaims any analytical or factual determination.
