PR19 Release Pairing
The Department of War's May 8, 2026 PURSUE Release 01 catalog identifies DOW-UAP-PR19, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, May 2022 as a Department of War video record with redactions, an incident location listed as Middle East, and no incident date assigned in the video row.12 The same catalog pairs PR19 with DoW-UAP-D10, a written mission report released as DOW-UAP-D10, Mission Report, Middle East, May 2022.23
The PR19 media description says United States Central Command submitted the record to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office as five seconds of infrared footage from a U.S. military platform in 2022.24 DVIDS published the matching public video entry on May 7, 2026, credited it as courtesy media, and associated it with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.4
Five-Second Infrared Clip
The DVIDS metadata lists the PR19 file as a 16:9 video with a five-second duration and a direct 1920 by 1080 MP4 rendition.45 Its description says that at the two-second mark an area of contrast moves left to right across the bottom third of the sensor field of view.4
The public clip is therefore narrow evidence: it preserves a short infrared sensor view, not a full mission record. The release description cautions that the video wording is informational and should not be treated as an analytical conclusion about the event's nature, validity, or significance.24
May 2022 USCENTCOM MISREP
The paired D10 PDF is a six-page USCENTCOM MISREP declassified by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, on October 7, 2025, and marked approved for release to AARO. Its mission context places the sortie under Operation Inherent Resolve in the air domain, with AFCENT and USCENTCOM listed in the command fields.3
The mission chronology says the aircraft took off at 0246Z on May 6, 2022, went on station at 0958Z, conducted target development, and returned to base at 2036Z. The report says full-motion video was exploited by DGS1, and the ISR section lists the primary sensor as FMV/SI while noting that dust hindered most ground full-motion-video collection.3
The observation section records an initial UAP observation at 1514Z on May 6, 2022. In the GENTEXT observation narrative, the reporter described five UAP crossing the screen between 1514Z and 1934Z: the first as a possible missile crossing the field of view, and the four remaining objects as fitting closer to possible birds.23 The PR19 public media record represents the short released video component of that broader mission-report entry; it does not depict the four later objects described in the paired document.24
Unresolved, Not Identified
PR19 matters because it connects a very brief public sensor clip to a formal operational report instead of leaving the media as an isolated artifact. The paired PDF supplies the reporting chain, mission timing, sensor context, environmental limitation, and original reporter language that the video alone cannot provide.234
It is also a useful example of why unresolved UAP records require careful reading. The same release that labels the media unresolved also preserves ordinary provisional descriptions: possible missile for the first object and possible birds for the other four. Taken conservatively, PR19 documents a USCENTCOM-reported observation and its public release path; it does not, by itself, identify the object or establish anomalous performance.23
