DOW-UAP-PR059, "NAG UAP 1 Jun 20"
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR059 is a 4-minute, 51-second infrared video dated June 2020, released by the Department of War on May 22, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It was uploaded to a classified network in June 2024 under the title "NAG UAP 1 Jun 20." AARO assesses it was likely captured by an infrared sensor on a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The video shows an area of contrast being tracked by the sensor across the full duration, with the operator zooming and panning to keep the object in frame. No other details about the observed object, altitude, speed, or platform are provided.
The record was identified as part of a collection of 51 potentially UAP-related materials surfaced in response to a March 2026 congressional request signed by eight House members. AARO notes that many materials in this collection, including this one, lack a substantiated chain of custody, which limits confidence in provenance. No OCR text is available, and no analytical conclusions about the nature of the observed phenomenon have been made.

On March 6, 2026, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives requested access to 51 potentially UAP-related records allegedly held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) identified a collection of responsive materials held on a classified network. Many of these materials lack a substantiated chain-of-custody.
AARO assesses that this video, whose uploader-defined title is, “NAG UAP 1 Jun 20,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2020. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.

Video Description:
00:02-00:36: An area of contrast appears in the sensor field-of-view. The sensor zooms and pans to keep the area of contrast in the field-of-view.
00:37-03:37: The sensor continues to pan to track the area of contrast, highlighting it with a reticle.
03:38: The area of contrast exits the sensor field-of-view, leaving the frame in the bottom left quarter of the screen.
03:39-04:35: The sensor zooms out, pans to track the area of contrast, and zooms in to keep the area of contrast in the field-of-view.
04:36-04:51: The sensor cycles zoom levels to keep the area of contrast within the sensor field-of-view.
