Description from war.gov

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of one minute and five seconds of video footage captured via multiple sensor modalities aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D7, described the UAP as “diamond-shaped” and moving at approximately 434 knots. The observer also reported that the UAP was only detectable via short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensor. Video Description: The screen is split into two viewing areas for the first ten seconds of the video, with the right side displaying electro-optical footage and the left side displaying SWIR footage. 00:04: An area of contrast becomes distinguishable against the background in the center of the right frame. 00:10: The display shifts to a full-screen view of the SWIR feed to better focus on the area of contrast. 00:55: The area of contrast remains generally within the center of the sensor field-of-view. The area of contrast visually resembles an inverted teardrop with a vertically linear trailing mass suspended below. 00:56: The operator switches the sensor modality to visible spectrum, losing the subject against the background. 00:57-01:05: The operator switches the sensor modality to SWIR (Black-Hot) but does not reacquire the area of contrast.

DOW-UAP-PR028 is a video record submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), documenting a UAP incident over Greece in January 2024. The 65-second clip was captured aboard a U.S. military platform using multiple sensor modalities. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D7, describes the object as diamond-shaped and traveling at approximately 434 knots. Critically, the UAP was reportedly detectable only via short-wave infrared (SWIR) sensor, not via standard electro-optical or visible-spectrum imaging.

The record is notable for the sensor-visibility discrepancy: the object appears as an area of contrast in SWIR but is lost entirely when the operator switches to visible spectrum at 00:56, and is not reacquired after reverting to SWIR Black-Hot mode. The inverted teardrop morphology with a suspended trailing mass, visible briefly at 00:55, is the only resolved shape data. No OCR text is available, and the companion document DoW-UAP-D7 is not included in this release, leaving the full mission context incomplete.
