CENTCOM area: Full-motion video camera catches UAP crossing frame, 17 September 2020
On 17 September 2020 a full-motion video camera aboard a U.S. military platform in the U.S. Central Command area recorded an area of contrast that entered from the lower right and exited the upper left of the frame within about three seconds; the clip, titled '17 Sept 2020 [call sign redacted] observes UAP', was uploaded to a classified network that month.
Background
The video belongs to the collection on a classified network that AARO identified after the 6 March 2026 request by eight members of the House of Representatives for 51 potentially UAP-related records; AARO notes that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain of custody. AARO assesses that the 4-minute-13-second video is likely derived from a full-motion video camera aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the USCENTCOM area of responsibility in 2020 and that a user uploaded it in September 2020. The video description records no content from 00:00 to 00:24, an area of contrast entering from the lower right-hand side and exiting at the upper left between 00:25 and 00:27, and no content from 00:28 to 04:13. The callsign is withheld; platform, unit and location are not disclosed, and the assessment rests on metadata only. The details are taken from the records released by the U.S. Department of War (record code DOW-UAP-PR084) and do not represent an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
