DOW-UAP-PR070, "IIR 1 655 S0301 23/Eglin AFB Aircrew Observed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) on 13 Feb 23"
A Department of War release of an AARO-reviewed 30-second infrared video, titled by its uploader as showing Eglin AFB aircrew observing a UAP on 13 Feb 23, surfaced in response to a March 2026 congressional records request.
On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community, and AARO identified responsive materials on a classified network, many lacking a substantiated chain-of-custody. AARO assesses that this 30-second video, whose uploader-defined title reads 'IIR 1 655 S0301 23/Eglin AFB Aircrew Observed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) on 13 Feb 23,' is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility in 2023. A user uploaded the video to a classified network in March 2023. The released file is an image or external asset with no extracted page text, so no verbatim quotes can be cited from source pages.
