Summary
This video, titled "Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAPs on 23SEP19 at 1715Z" by its uploader, is assessed by AARO as likely from an infrared sensor on a U.S. military platform in the U.S. Central Command area in 2019. It was uploaded to a classified network in November 2019 and runs nearly five minutes. The sensor tracks multiple areas of contrast that enter and exit the frame, with the screen periodically flashing black.
Detail
DOW-UAP-PR099 is a Department of War video among the 51 potentially UAP-related materials requested by eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives on March 6, 2026 and located by AARO on a classified network, many lacking a substantiated chain of custody. It was released through the PURSUE declassification.
AARO assesses the nearly five-minute clip was likely derived from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in 2019, with the file uploaded to a classified network in November 2019. After several no-content segments, an area of contrast briefly enters and exits; a second area then appears and the sensor pans to hold it centered while changing visual settings. The screen flashes black at points as multiple areas of contrast enter and leave the field-of-view, with the sensor panning to track them. The description is informational only.
