DOW-UAP-PR119, Unresolved UAP Report, Gulf of Oman, 2021
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
DOW-UAP-PR119 is a two-second video record submitted by U.S. Central Command to AARO, dated September 8, 2021, concerning a UAP encounter over the Gulf of Oman. The footage was captured by a cellular device filming an infrared sensor display aboard a U.S. Special Operations Forces AC-130J Gunship, making it a secondary rather than native capture. The object depicted is described in an accompanying Intelligence Information Report (DOW-UAP-D101) as a "cold orb" approximately four feet in diameter. The video shows an area of contrast remaining generally centered in the sensor field of view.
This record is one of a series (DOW-UAP-PR117 through PR122) capturing footage contemporaneously, suggesting a multi-event or extended encounter. The secondary recording method degrades fidelity and introduces visual artifacts, limiting analytical utility. The "cold" characterization in the IIR indicates the object appeared cooler than its surroundings on infrared, which is notable given that most known aerial platforms generate heat signatures. No OCR text is available, and DOW-UAP-D101 is a separate record not included here.
▮ TOP WORDS IN THIS DOCUMENT
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of two seconds of video footage. This footage is a secondary capture, recorded via a cellular device, of an infrared sensor display aboard a U.S. Special Operations Forces AC-130J Gunship. This footage does not represent native primary sensor data, and the secondary recording method introduces limitations in fidelity, resolution, and overall visual quality. Artifacts inherent to filming a screen, such as blurring or flickering, may be present. The footage contained within DOW-UAP-PR117 through DOW-UAP-PR122 was captured contemporaneously. An accompanying Intelligence Information Report, DOW-UAP-D101, describes the phenomena as “cold orbs” approximately four feet in diameter.
