DOW-UAP-PR023, Unresolved UAP Report, Iraq, December 2022

DOW-UAP-PR023 is a ten-second infrared sensor video submitted by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), documenting an unidentified anomalous phenomenon observed over Iraq in December 2022. The recording was made from an unspecified U.S. military airborne platform. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D18, describes the object as traveling west to east. The video shows an area of contrast moving from the lower left to the upper right of the sensor field-of-view, exiting the frame at approximately the six-second mark.

The record is classified as unresolved. No analytical conclusion, identification, or explanation is provided in the released material. The accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D18, is referenced but not included in this release, leaving contextual operational details absent. The platform type, altitude, sensor specifications, and any subsequent investigation findings are not disclosed. The document contains no OCR-recoverable text, suggesting the release consists solely of the video file with a brief descriptive summary.
