DOW-UAP-PR058 is a Department of War video record released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. According to the PURSUE release, the agency is the Department of War and the incident location is INDOPACOM; no incident date is recorded for this record.12
How The Record Surfaced
The provenance note attached to this record states that on 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 them lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.1
What AARO Assesses The Clip Shows
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is "[CALLSIGN] (Mission) UAP," is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024. The release note states the media was digitally altered prior to upload and is presented as received. Across roughly eleven minutes the clip opens with a title card describing an 8x-speed, stabilized and enhanced 38-second segment in which an area of contrast remains centered, follows with a card introducing a five-minute "original speed stabilized, sharpened, contrast enhanced" segment in which the sensor cycles contrast modes, and ends with a card introducing a five-minute "original clip" in which the sensor pans to keep an area of contrast centered while the overall quality progressively degrades. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
What The Record Supports
DOW-UAP-PR058 documents a long, multi-pass edited mission clip and its release path, not a resolved identification. The "possible changes of shape" language appears only on an uploader-supplied title card, no incident date is recorded, and the media was digitally altered before upload. The description states it is informational only and not an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination, and with an unsubstantiated chain-of-custody the record remains unresolved rather than identified.1
