DOW-UAP-PR097 is a four-minute, fifty-nine-second video, released May 22, 2026, under the Department of War's PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident date is September 25, 2019, at 2135Z, and the location is within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. The footage appears to originate from an infrared sensor mounted on a U.S. military platform. It shows an operator acquiring an unidentified area of contrast, adjusting sensor zoom and contrast settings to track it, and at higher magnification, the object resolves into several grouped areas of contrast. The video was uploaded to a classified network in October 2019 by an unknown user whose callsign is redacted in the title.
The record was identified by AARO in response to a March 2026 congressional request involving 51 potentially UAP-related materials. AARO explicitly notes the video lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, limiting confidence in its provenance and authenticity. The operator callsign is redacted, no OCR text is available, and no analytical conclusions are drawn. The grouped contrast features visible at higher magnification are uncharacterized. The record fits a pattern of informally uploaded classified network files with incomplete documentation.
