According to the PURSUE release, the originating agency is the Department of War, with an incident date of September 5, 2020, in the United States Central Command area of responsibility; the uploader-defined title is \"05 September 2020 [CALLSIGN] UAP.\"[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111720830/DOD_111720830.mp4\" controls />\n\n## Provenance And Chain-Of-Custody\n\nThe official description places this record inside a broader congressional request. 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 release cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.[^1]\n\nAARO assesses that this video 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 the clip to a classified network in September 2020. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## What The Clip Shows\n\nThe clip runs 4 minutes and 54 seconds and is mostly empty. Three brief transits are recorded: from 1:23 to 1:26, from 2:53 to 2:56, and from 4:22 to 4:26, an area of contrast transits the screen in each case, entering from the bottom and exiting the top of the frame. The intervening spans -- 0:00 to 1:22, 1:27 to 2:52, 2:57 to 4:21, and 4:27 to 4:54 -- show no content.[^1]\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nDOW-UAP-PR087 documents three short transits of an unidentified area of contrast and preserves the public release path of that media. AARO states its description is provided for informational purposes only and should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance. Taken conservatively, the record preserves an unresolved sensor observation; it does not identify the object or establish anomalous performance.[^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-PR087, \"05 September 2020 [CALLSIGN] UAP\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007799/dow-uap-pr087-05-september-2020-callsign-uap)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR087, \"05 September 2020 [CALLSIGN] UAP\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111720830/DOD_111720830.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-044-dow-uap-pr087-05-september-2020-callsign-uap","title":"DOW-UAP-PR087 05 September 2020 Callsign UAP","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-044-dow-uap-pr087-05-september-2020-callsign-uap","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
