DVIDS lists the asset as courtesy B-roll from AARO, video ID 1006088, VIRIN 130102-D-D0360-8893, published on May 8, 2026, with an undisclosed location and a listed media date of January 1, 2013.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111689051/DOD_111689051.mp4\" controls />\n\n## PR38 Infrared Clip\n\nThe record contains one minute and 46 seconds of infrared-sensor footage from a U.S. military platform. The description says the reporter provided no oral or written account of the observation, so the public narrative is a video description rather than a witness statement.[^2][^3]\n\nDVIDS describes an area of contrast resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of alternating length. At 00:10, the sensor narrows its field of view to zoom in. From 00:11 to 00:29, the contrast area moves within the field of view with a visible trail, then leaves the frame at the lower right at 00:30. After an apparent cut, it generally remains within view from 00:35 to 01:44 before exiting from the upper-left quarter of the screen.[^2]\n\nThe release caution keeps the description narrow: it is informational and should not be treated as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.[^1][^2]\n\n## Aircraft Label\n\nThe Department of War release metadata associates PR38 with the agency, location, direct DVIDS video ID, and a secondary video-title field reading \"Resolved as an Aircraft, Middle East 2013.\" The same row does not name a paired PDF document or provide a remote PDF/image link, unlike many PURSUE entries that attach a mission report, range-fouler form, or other Department of War record.[^1][^2]\n\nThat context matters because the public media title remains \"Unresolved UAP Report,\" while the release metadata preserves a separate resolved-aircraft label without an accompanying explanatory document. The responsible reading is therefore to keep the two facts distinct: the public clip documents the released infrared excerpt and timestamped visual description, while the CSV context indicates a Department of War catalog association with an aircraft resolution label.[^1][^2]\n\n## Media-Only Limits\n\nPR38 is useful because it shows the evidentiary limits of a media-only release item. The record gives provenance, runtime, sensor type, command source, public hosting metadata, a direct MP4, and timestamped viewing notes, but it does not provide a reporter narrative or a paired explanatory PDF.[^2][^3]\n\nIt also shows why catalog context cannot be flattened into a single headline. The DVIDS title, the Department of War release row, and the direct media file together preserve a chain from USCENTCOM sensor footage to AARO publication, while also warning readers not to infer a final analytical conclusion from the video description alone.[^1][^2][^3]\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE Release 01 page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n[^2]: [DOW-UAP-PR38, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2013 DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006088/dow-uap-pr38-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2013)\n[^3]: [DOW-UAP-PR38, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2013 MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111689051/DOD_111689051.mp4)","readingTime":"3 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-01-095-dow-uap-pr38-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2013","title":"DOW-UAP-PR38 Middle East 2013 Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-01-095-dow-uap-pr38-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2013","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
