Machine summary

Written by Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic) on July 13, 2026, from the record's text and war.gov's description. It is not part of the record and can contain errors; check it against the document.

DOW-UAP-PR109 is a 21-second video record released July 10, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The footage was originally captured in 2015 by an infrared sensor aboard an unidentified U.S. military platform over the Eastern United States. The Navy's UAPTF transferred the media to AARO in 2022. The video shows, from seconds 9 through 11, an area of contrast moving right to left across the sensor field-of-view before exiting the upper left corner of the frame. The remaining footage repeats this segment at reduced playback speed.

The record is notable primarily for its acknowledged evidentiary limitations: no formal UAP data handling protocols existed at the time of the original report, and the media was digitally altered prior to being submitted to the UAPTF. AARO received and released it in its altered state. The object's nature, size, range, and speed cannot be determined from available information. No OCR text was recovered, and no analytical conclusions are drawn by the releasing agency.
