The Department of War identifies the contributing agency as the Department of War and places the incident location within the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility. AARO assesses the footage was likely captured in 2019.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719835/DOD_111719835.mp4\" controls />\n\nDVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## House Request Provenance\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 and cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.\n\nAARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is \"Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAPs on 23SEP19 at 1715Z,\" is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility in 2019. A user uploaded the video to a classified network in November 2019.\n\n## What the Clip Shows\n\nThe AARO description gives the duration as 4 minutes 51 seconds. After an opening segment of no content, an area of contrast enters from the left and exits the lower left corner. A later area of contrast appears from the left; the sensor pans to hold it in the center of its field-of-view while changing visual settings. Another area enters from the bottom of the frame; the screen flashes black, and multiple areas of contrast enter and exit the field-of-view as the sensor continues to pan and track them. A final black-screen flash occurs before the clip continues tracking an area of contrast.\n\n## What the Record Supports\n\nAARO states that its description is provided for informational purposes only and that readers should not interpret any part of it as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the event's validity, nature, or significance. Conservatively, PR099 preserves an infrared sensor clip and its classified-network upload history. The chain-of-custody is unsubstantiated; the areas of contrast are unresolved and not identified; anomalous performance is not established.\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-PR099, \"Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 1715Z\" DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1007738/dow-uap-pr099-hi-res-callsign-observes-uap-25sep19-1715z)\n\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR099, \"Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 1715Z\" MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2605/DOD_111719835/DOD_111719835.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-056-dow-uap-pr099-hi-res-callsign-observes-uap-25sep19-1715z","title":"DOW-UAP-PR099 Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP 25SEP19 at 1715Z","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-02-056-dow-uap-pr099-hi-res-callsign-observes-uap-25sep19-1715z","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
