DOW-UAP-PR113 is a video record released July 10, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program, associated with an incident from 1996 in the Western United States. The footage, approximately two minutes and fifty-seven seconds in length, was likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard an unidentified U.S. military platform. It was transferred from the Navy's Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022. The substantive content consists of roughly four seconds of footage showing an area of contrast transiting the sensor field-of-view; the remainder of the video is repetition, slow-motion replay, and a freeze frame of that same content.
The record is significantly compromised. By AARO's own account, the media was digitally altered before it was reported to the UAPTF, and no formal data handling standards for UAP records existed at the time of the original incident. The chain of custody is therefore uncertain, and the alterations are uncharacterized. No OCR text is available, and the platform, crew, and precise location remain unspecified. The video cannot support analytical conclusions in its current form.
