DOW-UAP-PR063, "Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 2"
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR063 is a video record released May 22, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It captures approximately four minutes and forty-nine seconds of footage described as likely originating from a full-motion video camera and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, dated April 12, 2021. The video was uploaded to a classified network in May 2024 under the title "Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 2," with the callsign redacted. The sensor tracks an unspecified area of contrast for the first 49 seconds before panning away.
The record lacks a substantiated chain of custody, limiting its evidentiary value. The callsign of the uploading unit or platform is redacted, and no analytical conclusions accompany the footage. It is one of 51 potentially UAP-related records surfaced following a March 2026 congressional request to the Department of War and Intelligence Community. AARO's characterization of the object as "spherical" derives from the uploader-assigned title, not an independent assessment.

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, “Spherical UAP [CALLSIGN] 2021/04/12 vid 2,” is likely derived from a full-motion video camera and an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2021. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in May 2024.
