DOW-UAP-PR080 is a Department of War video record released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. The record's agency is the Department of War; the associated incident date is 2020 and the stated location is CENTCOM.12
House-Requested Record
The PR080 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 a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network and cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.1
AARO Assessment of the Clip
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is "20 October 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP," is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded it to a classified network in October 2020. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
The 00:04:54 clip description catalogs a series of brief area-of-contrast transits across the sensor field-of-view, several lasting only a second or two, after which the sensor repeatedly changes modes or attempts to track. The transits move through various quadrants of the screen across the clip. AARO states the description is informational only and should not be read as an analytical judgment or factual determination about the event.1
What The Record Supports
PR080 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
