DOW-UAP-PR037 is a 2020 incident report submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The document consists of nine seconds of infrared sensor video recorded from an unspecified U.S. military platform operating in the Arabian Gulf region. No oral or written description was provided by the reporting personnel. The video shows an area of contrast entering the sensor frame from the lower left, traveling on a broadly linear path, and exiting at the upper left over a two-second window (00:06–00:08).
The report is notable primarily for what it lacks: no observer narrative, no metadata identifying the platform or sensor type, no altitude or speed estimates, and no analytical conclusions. The absence of a written account alongside the footage limits any resolution effort. The case remains unresolved in the AARO inventory. As a video-only submission with no supplementary information, it represents a recurring limitation in UAP reporting — raw sensor data submitted without the contextual information needed for systematic analysis.
