DOW-UAP-PR073, IIR 1 655 S0053 23/Several Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Encountered In The Vicinity of Columbus OH"
Agency: Department of War
Release date: 5/22/26
Incident date: 2022
Incident location: Midwestern United States
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, “IIR 1 655 S0053 23/Several Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Encountered In The Vicinity of Columbus OH,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Northern Command area of responsibility in November 2022. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in March 2023.Video Duration: 00:01:28Video Description:00:00-00:04: No content.00:05-00:07: The sensor pans to center a small area of contrast within its field-of-view.00:11-00:37: The sensor cycles contrast modes and zoom levels while the area of contrast remains generally within the sensor field-of-view.00:38-00:41: The orientation of the sensor relative to the area of contrast causes the area of contrast to appear to rotate.00:42-01:14: A second area of contrast enters the frame from near the center of the top of the screen. It transits the sensor field-of-view, before becoming obscured by a redacted visual element of the sensor display.01:17: The initial area of contrast loses distinctiveness against the background.01:20: The sensor rotates, causing the second area of contrast to re-enter the scene before exiting the frame at the center of the top of the screen.01:23-01:28: No content.This video description is provided for informational purposes only.
