The Department of War lists the incident year as 2020 and the incident location as CENTCOM.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719809/DOD_111719809.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.[^3]\n\n## What AARO Assesses The Clip Shows\n\nAARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is \"NAG UAP 1 Jun 20,\" is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024. Across the nearly five-minute clip an area of contrast appears and the sensor zooms and pans to keep it in the field-of-view, then continues to track it while highlighting it with a reticle from 00:37 to 03:37; at 03:38 the area of contrast exits the field-of-view at the bottom left, after which the sensor zooms out, pans to reacquire it, and cycles zoom levels to hold it in view through the end of the clip. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nDOW-UAP-PR059 documents a sustained infrared tracking clip and its release path, not a resolved identification. The reticle indicates the sensor operator was actively following an object, but no measured kinematics or identification accompany the footage. The description states it is informational only and not an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination, and with an unsubstantiated chain-of-custody the record remains unresolved rather than identified.[^3]\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-PR059, \"NAG UAP 1 Jun 20\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007727/dow-uap-pr059-nag-uap-1-jun-20)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR059, \"NAG UAP 1 Jun 20\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719809/DOD_111719809.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-016-dow-uap-pr059-nag-uap-1-jun-20","title":"DOW-UAP-PR059 NAG UAP 1 Jun 20 Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-016-dow-uap-pr059-nag-uap-1-jun-20","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
