DOW-UAP-PR099, "Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 1715Z"
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR099 is a 4-minute, 51-second video record released May 22, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident date is listed as 2023 in the record metadata, though the video's uploader-defined title and AARO's assessment reference September 2019. The video was uploaded to a classified network in November 2019 and is assessed by AARO as likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The uploader callsign is redacted. The footage shows one or more areas of contrast — consistent with infrared returns — entering and exiting the frame, with the sensor actively panning and adjusting settings to track them. Multiple objects appear briefly between the 1:47 and 1:55 marks.
The record contains a metadata discrepancy: the stated incident date is 2023, conflicting with the 2019 date in both the title and AARO's description. No chain-of-custody documentation is confirmed. The uploader callsign is redacted throughout. AARO makes no analytical determination about the nature of the observed objects. The record was surfaced in response to a March 2026 congressional access request involving 51 potentially UAP-related materials held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community.

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, “Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAPs on 23SEP19 at 1715Z,” is likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the United States Central Command area of responsibility in 2019. A user uploaded this video to a classified network in November 2019.
