Indebted to @Giddierone who linked to this release in post #505, Geolocation Exercises thread.

From the current batch of releases via AARO, titled DOW-UAP-PR090, "24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) Observes UAP", https://www.war.gov/ufo/?releaseDat...090-24-AUG-2020-CALLSIGN-Mission-Observes-UAP

AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, "24 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 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 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in August 2020.

Video Duration: 00:04:57

Video Description:

00:00-00:03: The sensor tracks an area of contrast as it moves down the left side of the screen.
00:03-00:21: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast within the center of its field-of-view.
00:22-01:04: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast.
01:05-01:14: The area of contrast exits and re-enters the field of view several times.
01:15-04:57: No content.

The "area of contrast" appears to display slight fluctuations in brightness, perhaps shape as it moves. I can't think of any obvious reason why it couldn't be a bird.
