DOW-UAP-PR086 is a 34-second video file released by the Department of War on May 22, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program. It was uploaded to a classified network in September 2020 by an unidentified user, with the uploader-defined title "UAP from Dec 2019 (East Coast)." AARO assesses it likely originates from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within NORTHCOM's area of responsibility in December 2019. The video shows a sensor tracking an area of contrast, switching contrast modes mid-sequence, and then going blank for the final ten seconds. No personnel, craft, or other objects are explicitly identified in the description.
The document's primary limitation is its weak provenance: AARO notes the material lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, meaning its origin, handling, and authenticity cannot be confirmed. It entered the record only because eight House members requested access to potentially UAP-related materials held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community in March 2026. No analytical conclusion is drawn about what, if anything, the sensor was tracking.
