DOW-UAP-PR39 is a 2020 incident report submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released on 2026-05-08 under the PURSUE program. The sole evidence consists of five seconds of infrared sensor footage recorded from an unspecified U.S. military platform operating in the Arabian Gulf. No oral or written description was provided by the reporting party. The footage shows a faint contrast area entering the frame at the lower-right edge, moving right to left, and exiting near the bottom center over roughly two seconds of visible motion.
The record is notably thin: the absence of any observer narrative, platform identification, altitude, speed estimate, or sensor metadata leaves the footage with almost no analytical context. The object's nature, size, and distance cannot be determined from the available material. No OCR text was recovered, suggesting the release consists of the video file alone. The report remains formally unresolved, and the minimal documentation makes independent corroboration or classification essentially impossible without additional holdings.
