DOW-UAP-PR106, Unresolved UAP Report, Eastern United States, 2020
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR106 is a 2020 incident report submitted by U.S. Northern Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), consisting of 11 seconds of infrared sensor video captured from a U.S. military platform over the Eastern United States. An accompanying debrief document, DOW-UAP-D089, describes the object as "quite small," moving in a constant direction, with an indistinguishable shape, metallic appearance, and reflective underside. The video shows a small area of contrast briefly visible in the sensor frame before a mode switch causes the object to exit the field of view.
The record is notable for the disclosure that the video was digitally altered prior to being submitted to AARO, and is presented only as received, with no original unaltered version included. No OCR text is available, limiting further textual analysis. The object remains unresolved. The digital alteration prior to official reporting is a significant chain-of-custody concern and complicates any downstream analysis of the footage's evidentiary value.

The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 11 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. An accompanying Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D089, describes the phenomenon as “quite small” and as “continu[ing] in a constant direction.” The report characterizes the shape of the phenomenon as “indistinguishable,” with a metallic appearance and reflective underside.
Video Description: This media was digitally altered before being reported to AARO, and is presented as received.
00:01-00:01: An area of contrast is visible above the center of the frame.
00:02-00:04: The sensor switches modes, causing the area of contrast to rapidly move about within the field-of-view. The area of contrast leaves the sensor field-of-view from the top of the frame.
