AARO identifies it as 30 seconds of infrared footage from a U.S. military platform in 2023, and the matching DVIDS page identifies the same title and source filename, DOD_111887413.[^1][^2][^3]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2608/DOD_111887413/DOD_111887413.mp4\" controls />\n\nThe matching DVIDS record provides the direct MP4 asset used above.[^3][^4]\n\n## Provenance and Sensor Description\n\nThe official description attributes the report to United States Central Command and says it consists of footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. DVIDS credits the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.[^2][^3]\n\n## What the Video Shows\n\nFrom 00:00 to 00:08, the sensor pans to track an area of contrast while a platform component partially occludes the background. From 00:09 to 00:33, the sensor zooms in, a reticle briefly surrounds the area of contrast, and the platform component again obscures the display.[^2][^3]\n\n## What the Record Supports\n\nThe public descriptions identify an area of contrast and describe sensor and display behavior; they do not identify the phenomenon or assign an origin to it.[^2][^3]\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE Release 05 catalog](https://www.war.gov/UFO/release/05/)\n[^2]: [AARO UAP Report Documents index](https://www.aaro.mil/Next-AARO-Home-redesign/Next-Parent/Next-UAP-Report-Documents/)\n[^3]: [DOW-UAP-PR136, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2023 DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1017796/dow-uap-pr136-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2023)\n[^4]: [DOW-UAP-PR136, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2023 MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2608/DOD_111887413/DOD_111887413.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-038-dow-uap-pr136-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2023","title":"DOW-UAP-PR136, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2023","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-05-038-dow-uap-pr136-unresolved-uap-report-middle-east-2023","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
