Description from war.gov

The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 39 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2016. Video Description: 00:01-00:11: The sensor zooms in and out to track on an area of contrast, panning to keep it generally within the center of the frame. 00:12-00:29: The sensor switches modes. A white reticle surrounds the area of contrast. 00:30-00:36: The sensor stops tracking the object, causing it to exit the right side of the frame. 00:37-00:38: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the right side of the frame. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.

Machine summary

Written by Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic) on July 13, 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-PR114 is a 39-second infrared sensor video submitted by U.S. Northern Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), associated with an incident occurring in 2016 over or near the Atlantic Ocean. The footage, captured from an unspecified U.S. military platform, shows a sensor tracking an area of contrast through zoom adjustments and mode switching, with a reticle placed around the target area. The object exits the frame when tracking ceases, and a similar area of contrast subsequently re-enters from the right.

The record is classified as unresolved by AARO, meaning no explanatory conclusion has been reached. No OCR text is available, limiting analysis to the provided video description. The footage shares structural similarities with other military infrared UAP videos in the public record — sensor tracking, mode transitions, loss of lock — but no sensor platform, altitude, speed, or atmospheric data is included. The absence of analytical metadata makes independent assessment of the contrast source impossible.
