Description from war.gov

46. DOW-UAP-PR094, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) - HD 2020-02-13” 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, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) - HD 2020-02-13,” is likely derived from an electro-optical and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in February 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:59 Video Description: 00:00-01:46: No content. 01:47-01:51: An area of contrast enters the frame in the upper right corner and leaves the field-of-view on the left side of the screen. 01:52-02:10: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 02:11-02:17: The sensor zooms out. The area of contrast is visible in the lower right quarter of the screen. 02:18-02:28: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast. 02:29-04:38: The sensor zooms in and out several times. 04:40-04:43: The sensor changes modalities, causing the area of contrast to lose distinctiveness against the background. 04:44-04:53: The sensor changes back to electro-optical collection, again rendering the area of contrast visible near the center of the screen. 04:54-04:59: The sensor zooms in and out. The area of contrast is briefly visible in the upper left of the screen. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.

Machine summary

Written by Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic) on May 22, 2026, from the record's text and war.gov's description. It is not part of the record and can contain errors; check it against the document.

DOW-UAP-PR094 is a video record released May 22, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program, stemming from a March 2026 congressional request by eight House members for access to potentially UAP-related materials held by the Department of War and Intelligence Community. The incident date is February 13, 2020, and the location is within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. AARO assesses the footage was likely captured by an electro-optical and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. The roughly five-minute video shows a sensor tracking an unspecified area of contrast as it moves across the frame, with the operator zooming and panning to follow it across multiple sensor modalities.

The record is notable primarily for what it lacks: the callsign, mission identifier, and platform details are redacted, and AARO notes the collection lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, having been uploaded to a classified network by an unidentified user. No object is positively identified. The first 107 seconds contain no content, and the sensor modality shift briefly causes the area of contrast to become indistinct, leaving its nature unresolved.
