Description from war.gov

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, “HH11 03 July 2018 UAPs,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2018. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in July 2020. Video Duration: 00:01:19 Video Description: 00:00-00:12: No Content. 00:13-00:21: Two areas of contrast enter the lower right side of the screen and exit the bottom of the screen. 00:13-00:29: The sensor pans to track the two areas of contrast, centering them generally within the center of the field-of-view. 00:30-00:47: The sensor zooms in. One of the areas of contrast is no longer visible within the frame at this level of magnification. The area of contrast within the sensor field-of-view appears as three distinct areas of contrast in a generally straight line. 00:47-00:58: The distance between the rightmost area of contrast and the center and left areas of contrast appears to increase. The center and left areas of contrast appear to remain at a roughly fixed distance from one another. 00:59-01:19: Other areas of contrast enter the field-of-view from the top of the screen.

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-PR096 is a one minute, nineteen second infrared video recorded aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility on or around July 3, 2018. The record was uploaded by an unidentified user to a classified network in July 2020 and was released publicly on May 22, 2026, following a congressional request submitted March 6, 2026, in which eight House members sought access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO identified it as part of a responsive collection. The footage shows multiple areas of infrared contrast entering, moving through, and exiting the sensor's field of view, with the sensor actively panning and zooming to track them.

AARO notes the video lacks a substantiated chain of custody, limiting confidence in its provenance and metadata. No OCR text is available, and no accompanying analysis or sensor platform identification is provided. The active sensor tracking suggests an operator or automated system deemed the objects worth following, but no analytical conclusions about the nature of the objects have been drawn. The record is one of several similarly situated videos released under the same congressional response package.
