Official Description from War.gov

46. DOW-UAP-PR094, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) - HD 2020-02-13” 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, “[CALLSIGN] (Mission) - HD 2020-02-13,” is likely derived from an electro-optical and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in February 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:59 Video Description: 00:00-01:46: No content. 01:47-01:51: An area of contrast enters the frame in the upper right corner and leaves the field-of-view on the left side of the screen. 01:52-02:10: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 02:11-02:17: The sensor zooms out. The area of contrast is visible in the lower right quarter of the screen. 02:18-02:28: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast. 02:29-04:38: The sensor zooms in and out several times. 04:40-04:43: The sensor changes modalities, causing the area of contrast to lose distinctiveness against the background. 04:44-04:53: The sensor changes back to electro-optical collection, again rendering the area of contrast visible near the center of the screen. 04:54-04:59: The sensor zooms in and out. The area of contrast is briefly visible in the upper left of the screen. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.
