PENTAGON UFO FILE · VIDEO · DOW-UAP-PR0782 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 2 of 2
This file is the companion to DOW-UAP-PR077, and the interesting thing about it is a records puzzle. Both clips carry the title “2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP,” one marked 1 of 2 and this one 2 of 2. Both run four minutes and 58 seconds. AARO’s timeline for this clip is word-for-word the same as for part one — and yet the office adds a specific note that the two are not duplicates: they show very similar material yet are separate videos.
What the shared description says
In AARO’s account, the operator holds a “low” contrast area in the center of the view for more than three minutes while it becomes steadily more intense. A second target crosses the upper right corner shortly before the camera abandons the first and switches to it, following it to the end.
How to compare the pair
Because the written descriptions cannot tell the clips apart, any differences — framing, timing, image quality — would have to be seen in the footage itself. AARO does not say whether the two came from different sensors or aircraft or were cut from one longer recording. Both were posted on a classified network in November 2020, in U.S. Central Command’s area, and both reached the public through AARO’s search for records requested by House members in March 2026. Other footage is at videos.
The official description
From war.gov/UFO, released May 22, 2026, quoted in full
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, “2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 2 of 2,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in November 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in November 2020.
Video Duration: 00:04:58 Video Description: 00:00-03:21: The sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast within the center of the field-of-view. The relative intensity of the area of contrast increases throughout the video. 03:15-03:17: A second area of contrast transits the top right corner of the sensor field-of-view. 03:22-04:58: The sensor pans from the first area of contrast to the second area of contrast and pans to keep it within the field-of-view.

AARO Comment: DOW-UAP-PR077 and DOW-UAP-PR078 are not duplicates. Both videos depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct.
