DOW-UAP-PR093, "May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP"
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR093 is a 30-second infrared video dated May 5, 2020, released by the Department of War under the PURSUE Release 01 program on May 22, 2026. It was uploaded to a classified network in July 2020 by an unidentified user. AARO assesses it was likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, in or near the Gulf of Arabia. The video shows a sensor panning to track an area of contrast, followed by multiple areas of contrast entering and exiting the frame while contrast settings are adjusted. The platform callsign and full unit identification are redacted.
The record originated from a collection of 51 potentially UAP-related materials requested by eight House members in March 2026. AARO notes the chain-of-custody is unsubstantiated, limiting confidence in provenance. A companion video, DOW-UAP-PR095, shares a similar uploader-defined title and subject matter but is confirmed as a distinct recording. No analytical conclusions about the nature of the observed contrasts 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, “May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP,” 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 July 2020.
