Description from war.gov

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of two minutes and 57 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D33, described the UAP as flying near the surface of the ocean and making multiple “90-degree turns” at approximately 80 miles per hour. Video Description: 00:04: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the bottom left quarter of the screen. 00:07-00:19: The area of contrast moves back and forth horizontally across the field-of-view as the sensor pans to track it. 00:20-01:00: The area of contrast remains generally centered within the sensor field-of-view. 01:00-02:01: The sensor designates the area of contrast with a blue reticle, synchronizing its motion with the area of contrast’s relative position. 02:02-02:21: The sensor engages a contrast filter to better differentiate the area of contrast from the background. 02:22: The area of contrast becomes indistinguishable against the background, and the reticle drops its lock. 02:27-02:57: After losing lock, the sensor rapidly cycles zoom levels and contrast thresholds.

DOW-UAP-PR034 is a video record submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released May 8, 2026 under the Department of War's PURSUE program. The incident occurred over or near the ocean surface in Greece in October 2023. The footage, 2 minutes and 57 seconds in length, was captured by an infrared sensor aboard an unspecified U.S. military platform. An accompanying mission report (DoW-UAP-D33) characterizes the observed object as flying near the ocean surface and executing multiple 90-degree turns at approximately 80 miles per hour.

The report is classified as unresolved. The video shows sensor operators actively tracking the area of contrast, applying a contrast filter mid-sequence, and losing lock before the sensor cycles through zoom and contrast adjustments without reacquiring the target. No OCR text is available, meaning any written analysis or metadata within the document itself is absent from this release. The companion mission report, DoW-UAP-D33, is referenced but not included here, leaving the full operational context incomplete.
