DOW-UAP-PR031, Unresolved UAP Report, Syria, October 2024
DOW-UAP-PR031 is a five-second video record submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), stemming from an October 2024 incident over Syria. The footage was captured by a full-motion video camera aboard an unspecified U.S. military platform. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, describes the observed object as a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light" with a "light/glare halo effect" at the top of the sensor feed. Within the first second of footage, an indistinctly shaped multi-colored area moves from right to left across the top edge of the display.
The record is classified as unresolved by AARO. The brevity of the footage — five seconds — limits analysis, and the anomaly appears at the sensor display's edge, raising the possibility of sensor artifact or glare. No OCR text was recoverable from the document. The companion report DoW-UAP-D32 is referenced but not included in this release, leaving contextual operational details absent from the public record.
