DOW-UAP-PR095 May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia Dual UAP Video

Video

A 4:49 infrared clip held on a classified network resolves multiple distinct areas of contrast over the Gulf of Arabia in the CENTCOM area in 2020.

Disclosure Rating — 5/10

DOW-UAP-PR095 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 2020, and the location is the United States Central Command area of responsibility, with an uploader-defined title of "May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP."12

  Provenance And Chain-Of-Custody

The release description places this record inside a broader 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 May 2020. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.34

  What The Clip Shows

The AARO description runs 4 minutes and 49 seconds. From 0:00 to 0:16 the sensor tracks an area of contrast. From 0:17 to 0:20 it zooms in, and at higher magnification the area appears as multiple distinct areas of contrast. From 0:21 to 0:35 the sensor zooms in further as the areas move in and out of the field-of-view while it pans to keep them in frame. The sensor zooms out from 0:36 to 0:54, then zooms in from 0:55 to 1:46, where the areas again become more distinct at higher magnification and enter and exit the frame. The areas leave at the lower right edge between 1:47 and 1:51, and the remainder to 4:49 has no content.

  A Distinct Record From PR093

AARO appends a note to this record: DOW-UAP-PR093 and DOW-UAP-PR095 are not duplicates. Both videos share an uploader-defined title and depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct.

  What The Record Supports

DOW-UAP-PR095 documents a sensor track that resolves multiple unidentified areas 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 objects or establish anomalous performance.
