This footage is an uploader-titled video, "UAP from Dec 2019 (East Coast)," from Department of War materials AARO identified on a classified network after a congressional request for 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 Northern Command area of responsibility in 2019.

A user uploaded the video to a classified network in September 2020, and AARO notes that many materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. The source does not characterize the object beyond the uploader-defined title, and the released file is redacted.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:00-00:02: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast.
00:03-00:21: The sensor switches contrast modes while tracking an area of contrast.
00:22-00:23: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast.
00:24-00:34: No content.
