DOW-UAP-PR066, "USCG C-144 Tyndall UAP 1 TIC TAC IR hot 24 April 2024"
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR066 is a 48-second infrared video released by the Department of War on May 22, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program. The footage was uploaded to a classified network in June 2024 and is assessed by AARO as likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. Coast Guard C-144 aircraft operating in the Southeastern United States on or around April 24, 2024. The video shows two separate events: an area of contrast appearing briefly in the upper right and exiting left between 00:09–00:15, and a second area of contrast traversing the frame from lower right to lower left between 00:33–00:48, with the sensor unable to track it despite panning.
The record surfaced following a March 2026 congressional request from eight House members seeking access to 51 potentially UAP-related materials. AARO notes the video lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, limiting its evidentiary value. No sensor metadata, altitude, speed, or object-size data accompanies the release, and no analytical conclusions have been drawn about the nature of the observed contrast areas.

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, “USCG C-144 Tyndall UAP 1 TIC TAC IR hot 24 April 2024,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. Coast Guard platform operating in the Southeastern United States in 2024. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in June 2024.
Video Duration: 00:00:48
Video Description:
00:09-00:15: An area of contrast appears from the upper right side of the screen. The sensor does not pan to track the area of contrast, causing it to leave the field-of-view on the left side of the frame.
00:33-00:48: An area of contrast enters the field-of-view from the lower right side of the screen and leaves the field-of-view on the lower left side of the screen. The sensor pans to the left, but is unable to track the area of contrast.
