Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025

DOW-UAP-PR142 is a 2025 incident report submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released by the Department of War on August 7, 2026. The document consists of 14 seconds of infrared sensor video captured from an unspecified U.S. military platform operating in the Middle East. The footage shows an area of contrast entering the sensor's field of view from the left, transiting across the frame, and exiting to the right between approximately the five- and eight-second marks; the remaining seconds contain no content.

The record remains unresolved, meaning AARO reached no explanatory conclusion about the object's identity or nature. Notable limitations include the brevity of the footage, the absence of accompanying metadata, sensor specifications, altitude, speed estimates, or contextual reporting. No OCR text is available, indicating the record is video-only with no accompanying written analysis in the released package. The disclaimer explicitly states that the video description carries no analytical or investigative weight, leaving the event entirely open.
