DOW-UAP-PR096 is a one minute, nineteen second infrared video recorded aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility on or around July 3, 2018. The record was uploaded by an unidentified user to a classified network in July 2020 and was released publicly on May 22, 2026, following a congressional request submitted March 6, 2026, in which eight House members sought access to 51 potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO identified it as part of a responsive collection. The footage shows multiple areas of infrared contrast entering, moving through, and exiting the sensor's field of view, with the sensor actively panning and zooming to track them.
AARO notes the video lacks a substantiated chain of custody, limiting confidence in its provenance and metadata. No OCR text is available, and no accompanying analysis or sensor platform identification is provided. The active sensor tracking suggests an operator or automated system deemed the objects worth following, but no analytical conclusions about the nature of the objects have been drawn. The record is one of several similarly situated videos released under the same congressional response package.
