DOW-UAP-PR120, Unresolved UAP Report, Gulf of Oman, 2021 is a Department of War video record listed in the PURSUE Release 05 catalog. The matching AARO index and DVIDS record identify the footage as a 13-second recording from the Gulf of Oman on September 8, 2021.123
Provenance and Context
The official description identifies the footage as a secondary capture recorded via a cellular device from an infrared sensor display aboard a U.S. Special Operations Forces AC-130J Gunship. It states that the recording is not native primary sensor data and may contain artifacts from filming a screen.23
The same description says footage in DOW-UAP-PR117 through DOW-UAP-PR122 was captured contemporaneously and notes that DOW-UAP-D101 describes the phenomena as "cold orbs" approximately four feet in diameter.23
What the Record Supports
From 00:00 to 00:08, an area of contrast remains generally within the center of the sensor field of view while display elements enter and exit the frame. From 00:08 to 00:13, the sensor changes modalities twice and the area of contrast loses distinctiveness against the background.234
The official description does not identify the area of contrast or establish its origin.23
