The Department of War lists the incident year as 2022 and the incident location as EUCOM.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719726/DOD_111719726.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. 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 \"Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022,\" is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the United States European Command area of responsibility in August 2022. 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. From 00:00 to 00:45 the sensor pans to track an area of contrast generally centered in the frame; the description explicitly states that the digital alterations significantly influence that area of contrast's apparent performance characteristics. From 00:46 to 03:57 the video appears to cut and refocus, with the area of contrast intermittently passing in and out of frame as the sensor pans.\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nDOW-UAP-PR054 documents an edited infrared clip and its release path, not a resolved identification. The release note itself warns that the alterations significantly affect the object's apparent motion, so the \"erratic movement\" in the uploader title cannot be treated as a measured behavior. AARO's description is explicitly informational only and not an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination. With an unsubstantiated chain-of-custody, the record remains 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-PR054, \"Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007711/dow-uap-pr054-spherical-uap-erratic-movement-callsign-mission-2022)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR054, \"Spherical UAP Erratic movement [CALLSIGN] (Mission) 2022\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719726/DOD_111719726.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-010-dow-uap-pr054-spherical-uap-erratic-movement-callsign-mission-2022","title":"DOW-UAP-PR054 Spherical UAP Erratic Movement Callsign Mission 2022","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-010-dow-uap-pr054-spherical-uap-erratic-movement-callsign-mission-2022","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
