According to the PURSUE the release record, the originating agency is the Department of War, the incident date is May 5, 2020, and the location is the United States Central Command area of responsibility. The uploader-defined title is \"May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP.\"[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719795/DOD_111719795.mp4\" controls />\n\n## Provenance and Chain-of-Custody\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. 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 July 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 30 seconds. From 0:00 to 0:07 the sensor pans to track an area of contrast. From 0:07 to 0:30 several areas of contrast enter and exit the field-of-view as the sensor adjusts contrast settings.[^1]\n\n## Relationship to DOW-UAP-PR095\n\nAARO appends a clarifying note: DOW-UAP-PR093 and DOW-UAP-PR095 are not duplicates. Both videos share an uploader-defined title and depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct records.[^1]\n\n## What the Record Supports\n\nDOW-UAP-PR093 preserves a brief sensor observation of multiple unidentified areas of contrast over the Gulf of Arabia in 2020, together with its public release path. AARO states the description is provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance. Taken conservatively, the record documents an unresolved sensor observation; it does not identify the observed objects 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-PR093, \"May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007721/dow-uap-pr093-may-05-2020-gulf-arabia-callsign-platform-dual-uap)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR093, \"May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719795/DOD_111719795.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-050-dow-uap-pr093-may-05-2020-gulf-arabia-callsign-platform-dual-uap","title":"DOW-UAP-PR093 May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia Dual UAP Video","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-050-dow-uap-pr093-may-05-2020-gulf-arabia-callsign-platform-dual-uap","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
