DOW-UAP-PR33 is a five-second full-motion video clip submitted by U.S. Central Command to AARO, associated with an incident occurring in Syria in October 2024. The footage was captured by an FMV camera aboard an unspecified U.S. military platform. The video shows two semi-transparent, irregularly shaped orange areas overlaying the background imagery, each persisting for less than two seconds, appearing between the one- and three-second marks. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D32, describes the observed phenomenon as a "misshapen and uneven ball of white light" with a "light/glare halo effect" at the top of the FMV feed.
The record is notable primarily for the discrepancy between the written mission report's description — white light with a halo — and the video content as described, which shows orange semi-transparent overlays. No analytical conclusion or investigative finding is included, and no OCR text is available, suggesting the document is video-only with minimal accompanying documentation. The case remains unresolved. The companion document DoW-UAP-D32 would be necessary for fuller context.
