This redacted video was submitted to AARO by the Department of War and carries the uploader-defined title "16 Sept 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] observes UAP." AARO assesses that it is likely derived from a full-motion video camera aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020.

A user uploaded the file to a classified network in September 2020. AARO notes that many materials in the responsive collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, so that caveat applies to the broader set of records.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:00-01:17: No Content.
01:18-02:24: An area of contrast enters the bottom of the screen and moves up the screen as the sensor pans and zooms to hold it in the center of the frame.
02:25-04:29: The sensor zooms in, with the area of contrast remaining generally within the center of the frame.
04:30-04:44: The area of contrast leaves the field-of-view in the lower left-hand quarter of the screen.
