DOW-UAP-PR075 09JUN2021 Platform Observed UAP in the ECS

Video

A 23-second infrared video AARO ties to a U.S. military platform above the East China Sea in June 2021, released in PURSUE Release 02.

Disclosure Rating — 5/10

DOW-UAP-PR075 is a Department of War video record released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. The record is listed with an incident year of 2021 and a location of the East China Sea. The uploader-defined title is "09JUN2021 [Platform] observed UAP in the ECS."12

  A House-Requested Record

The PR075 description opens with the shared provenance note for this group of Department of War videos. 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 responsive materials on a classified network and cautions that many lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.

  AARO Assessment of the Clip

AARO assesses that this video is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating above the East China Sea in 2021. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2021. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34

The 23-second clip description states the sensor pans to track an area of contrast; at the 18-second mark the sensor loses sight of the object, with no content in the final seconds. AARO states the description is informational only and should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event.

  What The Record Supports

PR075 is narrow evidence: a brief infrared sensor view that AARO assessed by likely platform type, region, and timeframe only. It does not identify the area of contrast or establish anomalous performance; the record remains unresolved, not identified.
