DOW-UAP-PR092 is a 4-minute, 52-second infrared video recorded on August 8, 2020, by a sensor aboard an unspecified U.S. military platform operating within the U.S. Central Command 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 by eight House members for access to potentially UAP-related materials held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. Both pilot callsigns in the title are redacted. The video shows an infrared sensor acquiring, tracking, and repeatedly zooming on an unidentified area of contrast over approximately four minutes of active footage.
The record was uploaded to a classified network by an unidentified user in August 2020 and lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, which AARO flags as a limitation. No sensor metadata, platform identification, or crew statements accompany the release. The object is described only as an "area of contrast," with no dimensional, velocity, or altitude data provided. The absence of contextual documentation limits any analytical assessment of the observation.
