DOW-UAP-PR060 is a Department of War video record released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. According to the PURSUE release, the originating agency is the Department of War, the incident year is 2021, and the incident location is CENTCOM.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.
What AARO Assesses The Clip Shows
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is "Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 obj 2," is likely derived from a full-motion video camera and an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2021. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024. In the nearly five-minute clip an area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view from right to left while the sensor pans and zooms to track it from 00:00 to 00:26; the area of contrast re-enters the field-of-view and the sensor pans left and up to follow it through 02:04; and from 02:05 to 04:50 the sensor refocuses on the original subject matter of the video. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
What The Record Supports
DOW-UAP-PR060 documents a full-motion-video and infrared tracking clip and its release path, not a resolved identification. The uploader title designates it "obj 2," indicating it is one item within a larger collection, and no measured kinematics or identification accompany the footage. 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.
