Unresolved UAP Report, Iraq, December 2022
A ten-second infrared clip captured by a U.S. military platform over Iraq in 2022 shows an area of contrast moving diagonally across the sensor frame before exiting the field of view — the kind of fleeting observation that's easy to dismiss and hard to explain without more context. CENTCOM flagged it as unresolved and passed it to AARO, with an accompanying mission report noting the object traveled west to east. The paired document, DoW-UAP-D18, likely holds additional operational detail worth cross-referencing.
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of ten seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2022. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D18, described the UAP as "flying west to east."
Video Description: The video depicts an area of contrast moving from the bottom left to the top right of the sensor field-of-view. At approximately six seconds, the area of contrast leaves the sensor field-of-view near the top right corner of the frame.
