DOW-UAP-PR058 is a 10-minute, 48-second video released May 22, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It was identified by AARO in response to a March 2026 congressional request from eight House members seeking access to UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The video was uploaded by an unidentified user to a classified network in June 2024. AARO assesses it likely originates from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility. The footage shows an area of contrast tracked across three segments: an 8x-speed enhanced clip, a five-minute original-speed processed clip, and a five-minute raw clip of progressively degrading quality. The video's uploader-defined title redacts the platform callsign and mission name.
The record has several significant limitations. AARO notes the video was digitally altered before upload and lacks a substantiated chain of custody, undermining its evidentiary value. The platform callsign and mission designation are redacted throughout. No metadata, sensor provenance, or original file documentation accompanies the release. The absence of OCR text reflects no embedded written content beyond the intertitles described. The record fits a broader pattern in this release of user-uploaded classified-network files with incomplete provenance, limiting AARO's ability to draw analytical conclusions about the observed phenomenon.
