According to the PURSUE release, the agency is the Department of War; no incident date or location is recorded for this record.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719718/DOD_111719718.mp4\" controls />\n\n## How The Record Surfaced\n\nOn 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. AARO identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network and cautions that many of them 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 \"UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission),\" is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024. The release note states the media was digitally altered prior to upload and is presented as received. Across roughly eight minutes the description records four areas of contrast transiting the lower third of the frame, then a series of apparent cuts that refocus on the four areas while applying various contrast filters and zoom levels, a sustained zoom near the 06:09 mark, and a stretch in which the areas of contrast become increasingly indistinct as video quality degrades before a final apparent cut or zoom-out.[^1]\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nDOW-UAP-PR052 documents a long, edited mission clip and its release path, not a resolved identification. The media was digitally altered before upload, no incident date or location is recorded, and the description states it is informational only and not an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination. With an unsubstantiated chain-of-custody, the record is best read as unresolved rather than identified.[^1]\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-PR052, \"UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007708/dow-uap-pr052-uap-uso-formation-callsign-mission)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR052, \"UAP USO Formation [CALLSIGN] (Mission)\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719718/DOD_111719718.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-008-dow-uap-pr052-uap-uso-formation-callsign-mission","title":"DOW-UAP-PR052 UAP USO Formation Callsign Mission Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-008-dow-uap-pr052-uap-uso-formation-callsign-mission","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
