DOW-UAP-PR099 is a 4-minute, 51-second video record released May 22, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident date is listed as 2023 in the record metadata, though the video's uploader-defined title and AARO's assessment reference September 2019. The video was uploaded to a classified network in November 2019 and is assessed by AARO as likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The uploader callsign is redacted. The footage shows one or more areas of contrast — consistent with infrared returns — entering and exiting the frame, with the sensor actively panning and adjusting settings to track them. Multiple objects appear briefly between the 1:47 and 1:55 marks.
The record contains a metadata discrepancy: the stated incident date is 2023, conflicting with the 2019 date in both the title and AARO's description. No chain-of-custody documentation is confirmed. The uploader callsign is redacted throughout. AARO makes no analytical determination about the nature of the observed objects. The record was surfaced in response to a March 2026 congressional access request involving 51 potentially UAP-related materials held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community.
