"2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 2 of 2"

Official description

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, “2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 2 of 2,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in November 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in November 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:58 Video Description: 00:00-03:21: The sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast within the center of the field-of-view. The relative intensity of the area of contrast increases throughout the video. 03:15-03:17: A second area of contrast transits the top right corner of the sensor field-of-view. 03:22-04:58: The sensor pans from the first area of contrast to the second area of contrast and pans to keep it within the field-of-view.
