This video comes from Department of War materials identified by AARO and carries the uploader-defined title "08 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] UAP observation." 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 2020.

A user uploaded the video to a classified network in August 2020. Many of the responsive materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, and the released file is redacted.
