DOW-UAP-PR070 is a Department of War video record released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. The record carries the uploader-defined title "IIR 1 655 S0301 23/Eglin AFB Aircrew Observed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) on 13 Feb 23," with the originating agency listed as the Department of War, the incident year 2023, and the incident location the Southeastern United States.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 an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Northern Command area of responsibility in 2023. A user uploaded the video to a classified network in March 2023. In the thirty-second file, a sensor pans to keep an area of contrast in the center of its field of view while cycling contrast modes multiple times; at the twenty-two-second mark the area of contrast loses distinctiveness against the background. The uploader title links the footage to intelligence report IIR 1 655 S0301 23 and an Eglin AFB aircrew observation on February 13, 2023. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
What The Record Supports
PR070 preserves a brief sensor 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 infrared track that fades against the background; it does not identify the object or establish anomalous performance.
