DOW-UAP-PR077 is a Department of War video record released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. AARO assesses it is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in November 2020. The uploader-defined title is "2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 1 of 2."12
Provenance
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 on a classified network. A user uploaded this specific video to that classified network in November 2020. AARO cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody. The clip is publicly available via DVIDS and a direct MP4 rendition.34
AARO Clip Description
The video runs 00:04:58. From 00:00 to 03:21, the sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast centered in the field of view, with its relative intensity increasing throughout. Near 03:15-03:17, a second area of contrast transits the top right corner of the field of view. From 03:22 to 04:58, the sensor pans from the first area of contrast to the second and continues to track it. AARO notes that PR077 and PR078 are not duplicates: both depict highly similar subject matter but are distinct recordings. AARO states this description is informational only and should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event.1
What The Record Supports
PR077 establishes that AARO located an infrared clip on a classified network and assessed its likely platform type, geographic region, and timeframe. The record does not identify what the areas of contrast are, does not demonstrate anomalous performance, and carries an explicit chain-of-custody caveat. The subject of the recording remains unresolved and not identified.
