DOW-UAP-PR091, "21 AUG [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP in Persian Gulf"

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, “21 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP in Persian Gulf,” 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 this video to a classified network in August 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:48 Video Description: 00:00-03:07: No content. 03:08-03:10: The sensor zooms out. An area of contrast transits from the top of the screen to the bottom, exiting the frame. 03:11-03:48: The sensor zooms out and back in. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 03:49-04:48: The area of contrast becomes indistinguishable from the grain of the video and the sensor zooms out.
