Official Conclusion

No conclusion stated; AARO explicitly declines to offer any analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination 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, “29 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) observes 3 fast moving UAP’s,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in October 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in October 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:00 Video Description: 00:02-00:22: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast. 00:23-00:28: The sensor zooms in. 00:29-01:01: The sensor zooms out, panning to track an area of contrast. 01:02-01:17: A second area of contrast enters the frame from the top left quarter of the screen. Both remain in the frame for approximately 15 seconds. 01:18-1:41: The sensor pans to track the second area of contrast, causing the first to exit the frame at the bottom of the screen. The area of contrast remains generally within the center of the sensor field-of-view. 01:42-1:58: The sensor pans and cycles its zoom level multiple times. No content. 01:59-02:58: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast. The area of contrast becomes increasingly indistinct against the background. 02:59-04:00: The sensor pans and cycles its zoom level multiple times. No content.

Key Findings

• →AARO assesses the video is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the CENTCOM AOR in October 2020.
• →The video title references three fast-moving UAPs observed during a mission on 29 October 2020 by a redacted callsign.
• →AARO notes that many of the 51 materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, raising provenance concerns.
• →The official description characterizes the UAPs only as 'areas of contrast,' deliberately avoiding any determination of their nature or significance.
• →This video was surfaced in response to a March 6, 2026 request by eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives for access to potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community.
