DOW-UAP-PR062 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, under the uploader-defined title "Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 1."12
House Request Provenance
The record entered the public catalog through a March 6, 2026 request in which eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives sought access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. AARO identified responsive materials on a classified network and cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.
The AARO Assessment
AARO assesses that this clip 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 the video to a classified network in May 2024. Across its full four-minute, forty-nine-second duration, the sensor pans and cycles zoom levels to track an area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the field of view. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
What The Record Supports
PR062 preserves a continuous infrared track and its upload path, not a resolved sighting. AARO presents the description for informational purposes only, with no judgment about the event's validity, nature, or significance, and flags the missing chain-of-custody. Conservatively, the record documents an unresolved object held under sensor track; it does not identify the object or establish anomalous performance.
