PURSUE Release 01: DOW-UAP-PR32, Unresolved UAP Report, Syria, October 2024

  PURSUE Identifies PR32

The Department of War's May 8, 2026 PURSUE Release 01 catalog identifies DOW-UAP-PR32 as a Department of War video record for Syria, with redactions marked, no incident date listed in the video row, and a pairing to DoW-UAP-D32.¹² DVIDS publishes the same media as video ID 1006078 for the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, categorized as B-roll, credited as Courtesy, dated October 1, 2024, published on May 7, 2026, and available as a direct MP4.³⁴

  Six Seconds of Sensor Video

The public description says United States Central Command submitted a UAP report to AARO consisting of six seconds of full-motion video from a U.S. military platform in 2024.²³ From 00:02 to 00:04, it describes an irregular area of color and brightness, mainly white and red highlights, near the center of the top edge of the sensor display.³

DVIDS describes the visible feature as spanning roughly one-third of the frame width and about one-sixth of the viewing area's height, shaped like a horizontally oriented half-oval bisected along its major axis.³ The record cautions that this description is informational and should not be treated as an analytical judgment or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.²³

  D32 Ties It to the Mission

The paired DoW-UAP-D32 release is a USCENTCOM Military Mission Report for an October 20, 2024 Syria incident. The PDF is marked SECRET//REL TO USA, FVEY, was declassified by USCENTCOM Chief of Staff MG Richard A. Harrison on October 24, 2025, and was approved for release to AARO.⁵

The mission report places the sortie under Operation Inherent Resolve in the air domain, with the 12th Special Operations Squadron listed as originator and many aircraft, tasking, personnel, and coordinate details redacted.⁵ Its narrative says the aircraft took off from OJMS at 0823Z on October 20, performed FMV and SIGINT collection across three taskings, returned to base at 0124Z on October 21, and landed at OJMS at 0447Z.⁵

Within that report, the UAP entry records initial contact at 1559Z on October 20 during a dynamic target-development tasking. It describes a light or glare of unknown origin crossing the FMV camera feed, lists the observer assessment as benign, says the aircrew assessed it was not a lasing event, and records no effects on persons, no recovered material, no advanced capabilities, no intelligent control, and no observer engagement.⁵

The UAP event text describes multiple glares or lights from unknown origin between 1559Z and 1644Z, appearing from different angles and directions. It records one light or glare crossing directly on the FMV camera at 1559Z, 1602Z, and 1644Z, and a light or glare halo effect at the top of the FMV feed at 1609Z and 1620Z.⁵

  From ISR Observation to Public Release

PR32 matters because the public video is only a six-second media excerpt, while the paired D32 mission report preserves the origin of the report inside an ISR mission, the timing of the observation, the sensor context, and the aircrew's own limited assessment.²³⁵

Read together, the records show the story's path from an operational observation, to a redacted USCENTCOM MISREP, to an AARO-associated public release. They also keep the evidentiary limits clear: the release documents a brief sensor-display light or glare report, not an identification of an object or a conclusion about its nature.²³⁵
