The PURSUE the release record lists the agency as the Department of War and the incident location as CENTCOM; no verified incident date is recorded. The uploader-defined title is \"AFSOC Kabul UAP Jul 2017.\"[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719852/DOD_111719852.mp4\" controls />\n\n## House Request Provenance\n\nThe record entered the public catalog through a March 6, 2026 request in which eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives sought access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO identified responsive materials on a classified network and cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.\n\n## The AARO Assessment\n\nAARO assesses that this clip is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility. A user uploaded the video to a classified network in June 2024. The seventeen-second file contains no content from 00:00 to 00:13; from 00:14 to 00:15, an area of contrast moves into the field of view from the left edge and exits at the right edge. The uploader title associates the footage with Air Force Special Operations Command and a July 2017 Kabul context, but AARO assigns no incident date to this record. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nPR064 preserves a two-second sensor crossing and its upload path, not a resolved sighting. AARO presents the description for informational purposes only, with no judgment about the event's validity, nature, or significance, and flags the missing chain-of-custody. The record documents a brief unresolved infrared crossing; it does not identify the object or establish anomalous performance.\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-PR064 DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007741/dow-uap-pr064-afsoc-kabul-uap-jul-2017)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR064 MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719852/DOD_111719852.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-021-dow-uap-pr064-afsoc-kabul-uap-jul-2017","title":"DOW-UAP-PR064 AFSOC Kabul UAP Jul 2017","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-021-dow-uap-pr064-afsoc-kabul-uap-jul-2017","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
