AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “7 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] observes UAP,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in October 2020. Video Duration: 00:04:34 Video Description: 00:09-00:25: An area of contrast enters the right side of the sensor field-of-view. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. 00:26-03:20: The sensor cycles its zoom level multiple times, panning to track the area of contrast. 03:21-04:08: The sensor cycles modalities and zoom levels multiple times to focus on a faint area of contrast.
