This footage is a Department of War UAP-related video reviewed by AARO after members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to potentially UAP-related records. AARO assesses that it is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in November 2020.

The file was uploaded to a classified network in November 2020, and AARO notes that many materials in the responsive collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. Its uploader-defined title is "2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 2 of 2," and the released file is redacted.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:00-03:21: The sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast within the center of the field-of-view. The relative intensity of the area of contrast increases throughout the video.
03:15-03:17: A second area of contrast transits the top right corner of the sensor field-of-view.
03:22-04:58: The sensor pans from the first area of contrast to the second area of contrast and pans to keep it within the field-of-view.
