DOW-UAP-PR106, Unresolved UAP Report, Eastern United States, 2020
A Department of War UAP report packaging 11 seconds of infrared video that U.S. Northern Command submitted to AARO on a 2020 encounter over the eastern United States.
United States Northern Command reported an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) built around 11 seconds of infrared video captured by a sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. An accompanying Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D089, describes the object as "quite small" moving in a "constant direction," with an "indistinguishable" shape, a metallic appearance, and a reflective underside. The video was digitally altered before it reached AARO and is presented as received; across the clip an area of contrast sits above frame center, then moves rapidly when the sensor switches modes and exits the top of the field-of-view. The Department of War states the video description carries no analytical judgment or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.
