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, “Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAPs on 23SEP19 at 1715Z,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2019. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in November 2019.

Video Duration: 00:04:51 Video Description: 00:00-00:44: No Content. 00:45-00:46: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view on the left side of the frame and exits the bottom of the frame in the lower left corner. 00:47-01:07: No Content. 01:08-01:25: An area of contrast appears from the left side of the frame. The sensor pans to hold the object in the center of its field-of-view. 01:26-01:45: The sensor changes visual settings and continues to track the area of contrast. 01:46-01:47: Another area of contrast enters the scene from the bottom of the frame. 01:47-01:55: The screen flashes black before the sensor continues tracking the areas of contrast. Multiple areas of contrast enter and exit the field-of-view during this period. The sensor pans to track them. 04:00-04:51: The screen flashes black for before continuing to track an area of contrast.
