The release metadata lists the incident location as Djibouti, leaves the incident date unavailable, gives DVIDS video ID `1006159`, and names the DVIDS video title as `Unresolved UAP Report, Djibouti, 2025`.[^1][^2]\n\nDVIDS published the matching public entry on May 8, 2026, under the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, with a direct MP4 rendition preserved for the release.[^3][^4] The media description says United States Africa Command submitted an unidentified anomalous phenomenon report to AARO based on two seconds of infrared footage from a U.S. military platform in 2025. It also says the reporter did not provide an oral or written description of the observation.[^2][^3]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111689759/DOD_111689759.mp4\" controls />\n\n## Two-Second Infrared Clip\n\nAlthough the public MP4 is an 11-second file, the official description says the underlying observation consists of two seconds of footage and that the clip is looped for viewing.[^3][^4] The described visual content is limited: a faint contrast area crosses the infrared sensor field from left to right and exits through the lower-right portion of the frame.[^2][^3]\n\nThe release language is careful about what that means. The video description is offered for informational context only, not as an investigative conclusion about the object's identity, validity, nature, or significance.[^2][^3]\n\n## No Reporter Narrative\n\nPR43's release row does not populate the PDF-pairing field, and its video description says no reporter narrative accompanied the observation.[^2][^3] The public record for this clip should therefore be read as a media-only AARO submission: DVIDS metadata, a direct MP4, and the Department of War catalog row, without a mission report that can be treated as the written source for this specific event.[^2][^3][^4]\n\n## Evidence of Reporting\n\nPR43 matters because it is a narrow public record from AFRICOM: a short infrared sensor clip, a DVIDS media entry, and Department of War catalog metadata, but no observer account and no public analytical conclusion.[^2][^3]\n\nThe record is therefore strongest as evidence of government reporting and release handling, not object identification. It documents that AARO received an AFRICOM-reported UAP media submission from 2025 and that the public release preserved both the direct video file and the limits of what the reporter supplied.[^2][^3][^4]\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE Release 01 page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n[^2]: [Department of War PURSUE Release 01 CSV](https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-csv.csv)\n[^3]: [DOW-UAP-PR43, Unresolved UAP Report, Africa, 2025 DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1006159/dow-uap-pr43-unresolved-uap-report-africa-2025)\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR43, Unresolved UAP Report, Africa, 2025 MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111689759/DOD_111689759.mp4)","readingTime":"3 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-01-100-dow-uap-pr43-unresolved-uap-report-africa-2025","title":"DOW-UAP-PR43 Africa 2025 Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-01-100-dow-uap-pr43-unresolved-uap-report-africa-2025","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
