DOW-UAP-PR078 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, with an incident date of November 2020 and a location of CENTCOM.12
A House-Requested Record
The PR078 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.1
AARO Assessment Of The Clip
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is "2 November 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes and tracks UAP 2 of 2," 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. A user uploaded it to a classified network in November 2020. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
The 00:04:58 clip contains the following described segments: from 00:00 to 03:21, the sensor pans to keep a low area of contrast within the center of the field-of-view, with the relative intensity of that area increasing throughout; from 03:15 to 03:17, a second area of contrast transits the top right corner of the sensor field-of-view; from 03:22 to 04:58, the sensor pans from the first area of contrast to the second and pans to keep it within the field-of-view. AARO explicitly notes that PR077 and PR078 are not duplicates; both depict highly similar subject matter but are distinct. AARO states the description is provided for informational purposes only and should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event.1
What The Record Supports
PR078 establishes that AARO located an uploader-titled infrared clip on a classified network and assessed its likely platform, region, and timeframe. It does not identify the areas of contrast or establish anomalous performance. The record remains unresolved and not identified.1
