DOW-UAP-PR024, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2023
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR024 is an 18-second infrared sensor video submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) documenting an unidentified anomalous phenomenon observed in the Middle East in 2023. The report originates from an unspecified U.S. military airborne platform. The footage shows a sensor operator zooming in on a dark area of contrast, during which two bright objects transit the frame left to right before exiting. The sensor then reacquires and tracks the dark contrast area, placing a reticle on it before the footage ends with a contrast and zoom adjustment.
The record is notable for remaining unresolved by AARO, meaning no conventional explanation was formally assigned. The platform, operator identities, precise location, and altitude are not disclosed. No OCR text is present, indicating the release consists solely of the video description as provided. The document fits a pattern of CENTCOM-region UAP reports submitted to AARO under post-2022 reporting mandates, where short sensor clips with limited metadata are logged without definitive characterization.
▮ TOP WORDS IN THIS DOCUMENT
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 18 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.
Video Description:
00:01: The sensor focuses on a dark area of contrast, narrowing the field of view to zoom in.
00:02: Two bright areas of contrast transit the frame from left to right.
00:03: The sensor zooms out, keeping the bright areas of contrast within the frame.
00:05: The bright areas of contrast exit the right side of the frame.
00:07: The sensor refocuses on the dark area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame.
00:10: A reticle surrounds the dark area of contrast, which continues to remain generally within the center of the frame.
00:17: The sensor changes contrast and zoom settings, causing the frame to flash white.
