DOW-UAP-PR068 is a 1 minute 3 second video whose uploader-defined title is "IIR 1 666 S0151 23/Video Footage of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) captured by fifth generation aircraft on 20 Jan 23." AARO assesses it "is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Northern Command area of responsibility in 2023," uploaded to a classified network in July 2023.
AARO's notes: "00:00-00:31: A sensor tracks an area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the field-of-view. 00:32-01:03: The area of contrast briefly moves in and out of the field-of-view from the top of the frame as the sensor pans to track it. 00:48: A second area of contrast becomes visible in the upper right quarter of the screen." The phrase "fifth generation aircraft" comes from the uploader's title; AARO does not name the platform.
Presentation note: the released file shows the sensor picture inside a larger bordered frame. In our video the clip is cropped to the sensor picture itself so it is visible on a phone. Nothing else was changed.
This is one of the Release 02 videos. On 6 March 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records; AARO found responsive material on a classified network and released it on 22 May 2026, noting that "many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody." The title is "uploader-defined" - written by whoever uploaded the clip, not by AARO.
