DOW-UAP-PR064 is a 17-second video released by the Department of War on May 22, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program. It was identified by AARO in response to a March 2026 congressional request from eight House members seeking access to potentially UAP-related records held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community. The video's uploader-defined title is "AFSOC Kabul UAP Jul 2017," suggesting an Air Force Special Operations Command context in or near Kabul, Afghanistan, in July 2017. AARO assesses it was likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within CENTCOM's area of responsibility. The file was uploaded to a classified network in June 2024.
The video's substantive content is minimal: 13 seconds show no content, and a single area of contrast enters from the left edge and exits right over roughly one to two seconds. AARO notes the record lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, meaning its origin, authenticity, and handling history are unverified. No analytical conclusions about the object's nature are offered. The record is notable primarily as an example of the evidentiary limitations characterizing much of this collection.
