DOW-UAP-PR079 is a four-minute video record dated October 2020, 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 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO assesses the footage is likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The video was uploaded to a classified network by an unidentified user in October 2020. The operator's callsign and specific mission details are redacted. The footage shows a sensor tracking and zooming on one or two areas of contrast across approximately two minutes of active content; the remaining runtime contains no discernible content.
The record lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, which AARO notes explicitly. The operator callsign, platform type, and precise location within CENTCOM are redacted. No sensor metadata, unit reporting, or follow-up analysis accompanies the video. The user-defined title references three fast-moving UAPs, but the video description identifies only two simultaneous areas of contrast at any point. There is no OCR text. The record's evidentiary value is limited absent verified provenance and accompanying documentation.
