"UAP from Dec 2019 (East Coast)"
A 34-second infrared clip from a U.S. military sensor platform operating over the East Coast, uploaded to a classified network roughly nine months after it was recorded. AARO can trace it to a military infrared system within NORTHCOM's area of responsibility, but the chain-of-custody is unverified — meaning its origin and handling before that September 2020 upload are unclear. The footage itself is brief and ambiguous: a sensor tracking and switching contrast modes on an unidentified area of interest, with the final ten seconds blank.
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, “UAP from Dec 2019 (East Coast),” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Northern Command area of responsibility in 2019. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in September 2020.
