An AARO-released Department of War record describing a four-minute infrared video, uploader-titled "29 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) observes 3 fast moving UAP's," assessed as likely from a U.S. military sensor in the CENTCOM area of responsibility in October 2020.
DOW-UAP-PR079, "29 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) observes 3 fast moving UAP's"
An AARO-released Department of War record describing a four-minute infrared video, uploader-titled "29 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) observes 3 fast moving UAP's," assessed as likely from a U.S. military sensor in the CENTCOM area of responsibility in October 2020.
This is one of a collection of UAP-related records AARO surfaced after eight U.S. House members on March 6, 2026 requested access to 51 such records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO assesses the four-minute infrared video, uploaded to a classified network in October 2020, is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. AARO notes many of these responsive materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. The release carries a frame-by-frame sensor description but states readers should not interpret it as an analytical judgment or factual determination about the event.
