Detail

This Department of War video file documents a UAP report submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022. The footage runs five seconds and was captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. An accompanying mission report (DoW-UAP-D10) characterized the observation as a "possible missile" moving across the field of view and described four additional objects, not visible in the video, as "possible birds."

The video description notes that around the two-second mark an area of contrast moves from left to right across the bottom third of the sensor's field of view. This description is provided for informational purposes only and should not be read as any analytical judgment or conclusion about the event. The material was released through the PURSUE declassification.
