DOW-UAP-PR084, "17 Sept 2020 [CALLSIGN] observes UAP"
An AARO-released Department of War record describing a 4-minute, 13-second full-motion video titled "17 Sept 2020 [CALLSIGN] observes UAP," assessed as likely captured by a U.S. military platform over CENTCOM in 2020.
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. This file, DOW-UAP-PR084, covers a video whose uploader-defined title is "17 Sept 2020 [CALLSIGN] observes UAP," assessed by AARO as likely derived from a full-motion video camera aboard a U.S. military platform in the CENTCOM area of responsibility in 2020 and uploaded to a classified network in September 2020. The video runs 00:04:13, and the only described content is a single brief event from 00:25 to 00:27, an area of contrast entering from the lower right and exiting upper left. AARO states the description is informational only and should not be read as any analytical judgment or factual determination about the event.
