CENTCOM area: Infrared video of 5 September 2020 shows contrast crossing frame three times
A video uploaded to a classified network in September 2020 under the title '05 September 2020 [callsign redacted] UAP' is, according to AARO, likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in the U.S. Central Command area; in the 4-minute-54-second recording an area of contrast transits the screen from bottom to top three times, each within a few seconds.
