DOW-UAP-PR106, Unresolved UAP Report, Eastern United States, 2020

Official Conclusion

Unresolved

Official Description

"The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 11 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. An accompanying Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D089, describes the phenomenon as “quite small” and as “continu[ing] in a constant direction.” The report characterizes the shape of the phenomenon as “indistinguishable,” with a metallic appearance and reflective underside. Video Description: This media was digitally altered before being reported to AARO, and is presented as received. 00:01-00:01: An area of contrast is visible above the center of the frame. 00:02-00:04: The sensor switches modes, causing the area of contrast to rapidly move about within the field-of-view. The area of contrast leaves the sensor field-of-view from the top of the frame. 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

• →The phenomenon was characterized as 'indistinguishable' in shape, with a metallic appearance and reflective underside per the accompanying Range Fouler Debrief (DOW-UAP-D089).
• →The object appeared 'quite small' and continued 'in a constant direction' according to the Range Fouler Debrief.
• →The infrared sensor video is only 11 seconds in duration, severely limiting the observable data window.
• →The video was digitally altered before being reported to AARO, raising concerns about the integrity of the evidentiary record.
• →The area of contrast (the object) exited the sensor field-of-view from the top of the frame after the sensor switched modes, complicating analysis.
