PURSUE Release 01: DOW-UAP-PR34, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023

DOW-UAP-PR34 is a Department of War PURSUE Release 01 video record for an unresolved UAP report associated with Greece in October 2023. The public release identifies it as Department of War material, marks it redacted, lists the incident location as Greece with no separate incident date in the video entry, and pairs it with DoW-UAP-D33, the related mission report.¹²

  DVIDS Infrared Clip

The DVIDS record is video ID 1006080, titled DOW-UAP-PR34, Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023, credited as courtesy material, associated with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and published on May 8, 2026. Its listed media date is October 1, 2023, and the direct MP4 file embedded above runs two minutes and 57 seconds.³⁴

The public description says United States Central Command submitted the report to AARO with infrared-sensor footage from a U.S. military platform in 2023. In the described sequence, an area of contrast enters near the lower-left portion of the display at four seconds, shifts horizontally as the sensor follows it, and remains generally centered through the one-minute mark. From about 01:00 to 02:01, the sensor places a blue reticle on the contrast area; after a contrast-filter change, the feature blends into the background at about 02:22, the reticle drops lock, and the sensor cycles through zoom and contrast settings until the clip ends.³

The video description is deliberately limited. The release says the description is informational and should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's nature or significance.¹³

  Aegean Sea MISREP

The paired DoW-UAP-D33 PDF is a seven-page USCENTCOM MISREP, numbered 9329374, for an October 27, 2023 Aegean Sea incident. It was declassified by MG Richard A. Harrison, USCENTCOM Chief of Staff, on January 22, 2026, and approved for release to AARO on January 26, 2026.²

The mission report places the sortie in the air domain, lists AFSOC as major command, USCENTCOM as combatant command, 33 SOS as originator, and ISR as the mission type. Aircraft, personnel, tasking, and some location details are redacted, but the report records takeoff from LGLR at 2339Z on October 26, handoff from the launch and recovery element, FMV/SIGINT collection after reaching station, return to base at 1011Z on October 27, and landing at OJMS at 1309Z.²

The UAP entry records initial contact at 270035:12ZOCT23 while the aircraft was en route to its target. The reporter described a seemingly circular object, too small to resolve in detail, flying just above the ocean surface and making multiple 90-degree turns at an estimated 80 miles per hour before it was lost from the feed at 0038Z.²³

The same entry marks the observer assessment as benign, the physical state as solid, propulsion as unknown, no observer engagement, no effects on persons, no recovered object or material, and no effects on equipment. Those fields preserve the reporter's operational account without identifying the object.²

  What the Pairing Shows

PR-34 matters because the released media is not only a standalone sensor clip. PURSUE metadata connects it to a contemporaneous mission report that gives the clip a reporting chain, mission timeline, sensor context, and original UAP fields.¹²³

The pairing also defines the limits of the public record. The video record describes sensor behavior and a tracked contrast area, while the mission report records a low-over-water observation with sharp turns but no recovery, effects, engagement, or final identification.²³
