WHAT THE RECORD SAYS

The government's own description, as released.

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, “May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual 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 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in May 2020.

Video Duration: 00:04:49 Video Description: 00:00-00:16: The sensor tracks an area of contrast. 00:17-00:20: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast. At higher magnification, the area appears as multiple distinct areas of contrast. 00:21-00:35: The sensor zooms in further. The areas of contrast move in and out of the field-of-view as the sensor pans to keep them in frame. 00:36-00:54: The sensor zooms out. 00:55-01:46: The sensor zooms in. The areas of contrast again become more distinct at higher magnification. The areas enter and exit the field-of-view as the sensor pans to keep them in frame. 01:47-01:51: The areas of contrast leave the frame at the lower right edge of the screen. 01:52-04:49: No content.

AARO Comment: DOW-UAP-PR093 and DOW-UAP-PR095 are not duplicates. Both videos share an uploader-defined title and depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct.
