DOW-UAP-PR077 is a nearly five-minute infrared video, dated November 2020, associated with a U.S. military platform operating in the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The record was released on May 22, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program following a March 2026 congressional request for access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The video, uploaded to a classified network in November 2020, shows an infrared sensor tracking a low-contrast area of interest for approximately three minutes before a second area of contrast briefly appears and the sensor re-cues to follow it. Both aircrew callsigns are redacted.
AARO notes the video likely originates from an infrared sensor but flags that many materials in this collection lack a substantiated chain-of-custody, limiting confidence in provenance. A companion record, DOW-UAP-PR078, covers the same event but is confirmed to be a distinct file. No analytical conclusions about the nature of the observed objects are offered. The absence of OCR text and redacted callsigns constrain further identification.
