CENTCOM area: Two crews track UAP on infrared for five minutes, 2 November 2020
On 2 November 2020 an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in the U.S. Central Command area kept a low area of contrast centred for more than three minutes while its intensity increased, then shifted to a second contrast that crossed the top right corner; the clip, titled '2 November 2020 [call sign redacted] [call sign redacted] Observes and tracks UAP 1 of 2', is the first of two related videos.
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-58-second video is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the USCENTCOM area of responsibility in November 2020 and that a user uploaded it in November 2020. The video description records that from 00:00 to 03:21 the sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast centred while its relative intensity increases, that at 03:15-03:17 a second area of contrast transits the top right corner, and that from 03:22 to 04:58 the sensor pans from the first to the second contrast and follows it. AARO comments that DOW-UAP-PR077 and DOW-UAP-PR078 are not duplicates but depict highly similar subject matter. Two callsigns in the title are withheld; platform, units and location are not disclosed. The details are taken from the records released by the U.S. Department of War (record code DOW-UAP-PR077) and do not represent an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
