DOW-UAP-PR121, Unresolved UAP Report, Gulf of Oman, 2021 is a Department of War video record from the Gulf of Oman dated September 8, 2021. The official PURSUE catalog places it in Release 05, and the matching DVIDS record identifies a 34-second video.1234
Provenance and Sensor Context
The DVIDS description says the United States Central Command submitted a report to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 34 seconds of video. It describes the footage as a secondary capture made with a cellular device pointed at an infrared sensor display aboard a U.S. Special Operations Forces AC-130J Gunship.3
DVIDS states that this is not native primary sensor data and that the recording method limits fidelity, resolution, and visual quality; it notes possible blurring or flicker from filming a screen. The page also says the footage in DOW-UAP-PR117 through DOW-UAP-PR122 was captured contemporaneously and that IIR DOW-UAP-D101 describes the phenomena as "cold orbs" approximately four feet in diameter.3
Video Description
DVIDS describes an area of contrast near the center of the sensor field of view during the first 12 seconds, with display elements entering and leaving the frame. Between 13 and 18 seconds, a relatively larger area of contrast moves through the frame while a smaller area enters and exits; from 19 to 34 seconds, the sensor adjusts and an area of contrast remains generally near the center.3
What The Record Supports
The record supports that a 34-second secondary recording captured an infrared sensor display with areas of contrast over the Gulf of Oman. It does not provide native primary sensor data or, by itself, identify the observed phenomenon.34
