Department of War Release 2 VID VIDEO

DOW-UAP-PR083, "7 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] observes UAP"

On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network. Many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “7 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] observes UAP,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in October 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in October 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:34 Video Description: 00:09-00:25: An area of contrast enters the right side of the sensor field-of-view. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. 00:26-03:20: The sensor cycles its zoom level multiple times, panning to track the area of contrast. 03:21-04:08: The sensor cycles modalities and zoom levels multiple times to focus on a faint area of contrast. 04:09: The area of contrast loses distinctiveness against the background. 04:10-04:26: No content. 04:27-04:34: An area of contrast appears on the right side of the sensor field-of-view, and the sensor pans to bring the area of contrast to the center of the display.
