This footage comes from the Department of War and carries the uploader-defined title "24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) Observes UAP." AARO assesses that it is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020.

The file was uploaded to a classified network in August 2020, and AARO notes that many materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. The source does not identify the object, and the released file is redacted.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:00-00:03: The sensor tracks an area of contrast as it moves down the left side of the screen.
00:03-00:21: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast within the center of its field-of-view.
00:22-01:04: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast.
01:05-01:14: The area of contrast exits and re-enters the field of view several times.
01:15-04:57: No content.
