The record carries the uploader-defined title \"IIR 1 666 S0151 23/Video Footage of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) captured by fifth generation aircraft on 20 Jan 23.\" The originating agency is the Department of War, the reported incident date is January 20, 2023, and the area of responsibility is NORTHCOM.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111720698/DOD_111720698.mp4\" controls />\n\n## House Request Provenance\n\nThe record entered the public catalog through a March 6, 2026 request in which eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives sought access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO identified responsive materials on a classified network and cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.\n\n## The AARO Assessment\n\nAARO assesses that this clip 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. A user uploaded the video to a classified network in July 2023. The one-minute, three-second clip breaks into two phases: from 00:00 to 00:31 a sensor tracks an area of contrast, keeping it generally centered in the field-of-view; from 00:32 to 01:03 that area of contrast moves in and out of the top of the frame as the sensor pans to track it. At 00:48 a second area of contrast becomes visible in the upper right quarter of the screen. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nPR068 preserves a short infrared sequence and its upload path, not a resolved sighting. AARO presents the description for informational purposes only, explicitly declining to offer any analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance. The missing chain-of-custody further limits what can be asserted. The record documents unresolved infrared tracks; it does not identify the observed areas of contrast or establish anomalous performance.\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n\n[^2]: [Department of War PURSUE data file (uap-data.csv)](https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-data.csv)\n\n[^3]: [DOW-UAP-PR068 DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007780/dow-uap-pr068-iir-1-666-s0151-23-video-footage-unidentified-aerial-phenomenon-uap-captured-fifth-generation-aircraft)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR068 MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111720698/DOD_111720698.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-025-dow-uap-pr068-iir-1-666-s0151-23-video-footage-unidentified-aerial","title":"DOW-UAP-PR068 Fifth-Generation Aircraft UAP NORTHCOM January 2023 Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-025-dow-uap-pr068-iir-1-666-s0151-23-video-footage-unidentified-aerial","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
