DOW-UAP-PR087 is a 4-minute 54-second video released by the Department of War on May 22, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program. It was identified by AARO in response to a March 2026 congressional request covering 51 potentially UAP-related records. The video was uploaded to a classified network in September 2020 and is assessed as likely originating from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The uploader-assigned title references September 5, 2020, and includes a redacted callsign. No additional metadata, location specifics, or platform identification is provided.
The video's substantive content consists of three brief intervals — each roughly three to four seconds — in which an area of contrast moves through the frame, entering from the bottom and exiting the top. The remaining approximately four and a half minutes contain no content. AARO notes the record lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, which limits its analytical value. The operator callsign is redacted, and no sensor parameters, altitude, or observing platform details are included.
