DOW-UAP-PR092 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, the incident date is August 8, 2020, and the location is the United States Central Command area of responsibility, with an uploader-defined title of "08 AUG 2020 [CALLSIGN] [CALLSIGN] UAP observation."12
Provenance And Chain-Of-Custody
The release description places this record inside a broader congressional request. 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. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network, and the release cautions that many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.
AARO assesses that this video 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 the clip to a classified network in August 2020. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34
What The Clip Shows
The AARO description covers 4 minutes and 52 seconds. After no content through 0:47, an area of contrast enters from the lower right between 0:48 and 0:51 and exits at the lower left between 0:52 and 0:53. From 0:54 to 1:09 the sensor pans to track and center the area of contrast, then zooms in from 1:10 to 1:34 and further from 1:35 to 1:37, with the area remaining visible at the top of the screen. The sensor zooms out to track from 1:38 to 3:45, zooms in again from 3:46 to 3:50, zooms out from 3:51 to 4:07, changes visual settings while tracking from 4:08 to 4:25, and zooms out and in several times from 4:26 to 4:52.
What The Record Supports
DOW-UAP-PR092 documents an extended sensor track of an unidentified area of contrast and the public release path of that media. 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's validity, nature, or significance. Taken conservatively, the record preserves an unresolved sensor observation; it does not identify the object or establish anomalous performance.
