This electro-optical and infrared footage was in Department of War materials identified by AARO as potentially UAP-related. AARO assesses that the video, under the uploader-defined title "[CALLSIGN] (Mission) - HD 2020-02-13," is likely from an EO/IR sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in 2020.

A user uploaded the file to a classified network in February 2020, and AARO notes that many materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain of custody. The source treats the record as potentially UAP-related, and the released file is redacted.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:00-01:46: No content.
01:47-01:51: An area of contrast enters the frame in the upper right corner and leaves the field-of-view on the left side of the screen.
01:52-02:10: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast.
02:11-02:17: The sensor zooms out. The area of contrast is visible in the lower right quarter of the screen.
02:18-02:28: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast.
02:29-04:38: The sensor zooms in and out several times.
04:40-04:43: The sensor changes modalities, causing the area of contrast to lose distinctiveness against the background.
04:44-04:53: The sensor changes back to electro-optical collection, again rendering the area of contrast visible near the center of the screen.
04:54-04:59: The sensor zooms in and out. The area of contrast is briefly visible in the upper left of the screen.
