Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, May 2022
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of five seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2022. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D10, described the observation as a “possible missile” moving across the field-of-view. The report also described four other objects not depicted in the video as “possible birds.”
Infrared/FLIR aerial footage looking down at terrain with a targeting crosshair and compass "N" indicator; the camera pans over rough, arid ground with some bright thermal signatures from structures or geological features, with redacted HUD data bars along the top edge.
At the two second mark, the video depicts an area of contrast moving from left to right across the bottom third of the sensor field-of-view.
