Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2020
A nine-second infrared clip from a U.S. military platform over the Arabian Gulf captures something moving linearly across the sensor field before exiting frame — with no accompanying description from the reporting crew, just the footage itself. CENTCOM submitted it to AARO as unresolved, meaning analysts couldn't identify the object or rule out something worth a second look. Short, sparse, and unexplained, it's a good example of how thin the evidentiary record can be even for reports that make it through official channels.
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of nine seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.
Video Description: 00:06-00:08: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the bottom left quarter of the screen, follows a generally linear path from the bottom of the screen to the top, and exits from the top left quarter.
