This footage is an uploader-labeled video, "NAG UAP 1 Jun 20," submitted as a Department of War record to AARO. 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.

A user uploaded the video to a classified network in June 2024, and AARO notes that many of the responsive materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. The source describes the record as potentially UAP-related and does not provide an identification for the object.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:02-00:36: An area of contrast appears in the sensor field-of-view. The sensor zooms and pans to keep the area of contrast in the field-of-view.
00:37-03:37: The sensor continues to pan to track the area of contrast, highlighting it with a reticle.
03:38: The area of contrast exits the sensor field-of-view, leaving the frame in the bottom left quarter of the screen.
03:39-04:35: The sensor zooms out, pans to track the area of contrast, and zooms in to keep the area of contrast in the field-of-view.
04:36-04:51: The sensor cycles zoom levels to keep the area of contrast within the sensor field-of-view.
