DOW-UAP-PR022 is a 14-second dual-sensor video recording submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), associated with an incident in Syria in July 2022. The footage was captured by infrared (left channel) and electro-optical (right channel) sensors aboard an unspecified U.S. military platform. At approximately the five-second mark, an object is visible moving from right to left across the upper-right quadrant of the sensor field of view. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D16, describes the object's travel direction as north to south. No personnel are named in the released record.

The case remains classified as unresolved by AARO. No analytical conclusion, object characterization, or speed/altitude data is included in the release. The companion document DoW-UAP-D16 is referenced but not included here, leaving the fuller mission context unavailable. The record is one of several military sensor-based UAP submissions from the CENTCOM area of operations and contributes to the documented pattern of unresolved aerial observations in active operational zones.
