Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025

Record DOW-UAP-PR135 is a one-minute infrared video submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), documenting an unidentified anomalous phenomenon observed in the Middle East in 2025. The footage was captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. An accompanying mission report, DOW-UAP-D108, describes the object as six small spherical objects grouped together, moving in an "agile" manner with frequent changes in direction, at an estimated speed of 480 miles per hour. The video shows several areas of contrast entering and exiting the sensor's field of view, with the sensor operator panning to track them before changing magnification levels near the end of the clip.

The document is notable for its brevity and lack of resolution — no identification or explanation is offered for the objects' origin or nature. The video itself is low-information: contrast blobs tracked by sensor operators, consistent with many AARO-released UAP clips that lack contextual telemetry, altitude, or range data. No enhanced imagery, additional sensor data, or analytical conclusions accompany the release. The record reflects AARO's standard practice of releasing raw military sensor footage alongside a brief narrative report without adjudicating the phenomenon's identity, leaving the case formally unresolved.
