The Department of War lists the incident year as 2022 and the incident location as CENTCOM.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719709/DOD_111719709.mp4\" controls />\n\n## How The Record Surfaced\n\nThe provenance note attached to this record states that on March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network, and the note cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## What AARO Assesses The Clip Shows\n\nAARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is \"4 UAP Formation Iran 26 Aug 2022 over water [CALLSIGN],\" is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2022. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024. The release describes a 20-second clip: from 00:01 to 00:04, four areas of contrast transit the sensor field-of-view, entering from the lower third of the left side and exiting near the center of the bottom of the frame; from 00:05 to 00:06, an additional area of contrast enters from the top left corner.\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nDOW-UAP-PR050 documents a short infrared sensor clip and its release path, not a resolved identification. The accompanying description states it is provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the event's validity, nature, or significance. With an unsubstantiated chain-of-custody and only an uploader-supplied title, the record is best read as unresolved rather than identified.\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n\n[^2]: [Department of War PURSUE data file (uap-data.csv)](https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-data.csv)\n\n[^3]: [DOW-UAP-PR050, \"4 UAP Formation Iran 26 Aug 2022 over water [CALLSIGN]\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007706/dow-uap-pr050-4-uap-formation-iran-26-aug-2022-over-water-callsign)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR050, \"4 UAP Formation Iran 26 Aug 2022 over water [CALLSIGN]\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719709/DOD_111719709.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-006-dow-uap-pr050-4-uap-formation-iran-26-aug-2022-over-water-callsign","title":"DOW-UAP-PR050 4 UAP Formation Iran 26 Aug 2022 Over Water Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-006-dow-uap-pr050-4-uap-formation-iran-26-aug-2022-over-water-callsign","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
