DOW-UAP-PR095, "May 05 2020 Gulf of Arabia [CALLSIGN] (Platform) Dual UAP"
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR095 is a 4-minute-49-second infrared video, incident date May 5, 2020, associated with a U.S. military platform operating in the CENTCOM area of responsibility, likely over or near the Gulf of Arabia. The video was uploaded to a classified network in May 2020 and released publicly on May 22, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program following a March 2026 congressional request. It shows an infrared sensor tracking, zooming in on, and panning to follow two or more distinct areas of contrast, which the uploader titled "Dual UAP." The final roughly three minutes of the video contain no content.
The record lacks a substantiated chain-of-custody, and no platform identity, sensor specifications, altitude, or speed data accompany it. A related but distinct video, DOW-UAP-PR093, shares the same uploader-defined title and depicts similar subject matter, suggesting a common source or event. AARO does not characterize the areas of contrast as anomalous objects and offers no analytical conclusion about their nature. No OCR text was recoverable from the document.

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 May 2020.
Video Duration: 00:04:49
Video Description:
00:00-00:16: The sensor tracks an area of contrast.
00:17-00:20: The sensor zooms in on the area of contrast. At higher magnification, the area appears as multiple distinct areas of contrast.
00:21-00:35: The sensor zooms in further. The areas of contrast move in and out of the field-of-view as the sensor pans to keep them in frame.
00:36-00:54: The sensor zooms out.
00:55-01:46: The sensor zooms in. The areas of contrast again become more distinct at higher magnification. The areas enter and exit the field-of-view as the sensor pans to keep them in frame.
01:47-01:51: The areas of contrast leave the frame at the lower right edge of the screen.
01:52-04:49: No content.

AARO Comment: DOW-UAP-PR093 and DOW-UAP-PR095 are not duplicates. Both videos share an uploader-defined title and depict highly similar subject matter, but are distinct.
