Summary
This video, titled "Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 2135Z" by its uploader, is assessed by AARO as likely from an infrared sensor on a U.S. military platform in the U.S. Central Command area in 2019. It was uploaded to a classified network in October 2019 and runs nearly five minutes. The sensor tracks an area of contrast that, at higher magnification, appears as several grouped areas.
Detail
DOW-UAP-PR097 is a Department of War video among the 51 potentially UAP-related materials requested by eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives on March 6, 2026 and located by AARO on a classified network, many lacking a substantiated chain of custody. It was released through the PURSUE declassification.
AARO assesses the nearly five-minute clip was likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in 2019, with the file uploaded to a classified network in October 2019. After an initial segment with no content, an area of contrast enters from the bottom; the sensor rotates to center it and cycles through several contrast and zoom settings while tracking. At higher magnification the area appears as several points grouped in the center, and the sensor repeatedly changes contrast, causing the screen to flash, before the closing segment has no content. The description is informational only.
