DOW-UAP-PR140, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2022
This 2022 release alternates electro-optical and infrared views while a contrast area crosses or is tracked within the sensor field. Its media description attributes an 80–180 mph range to D109; the source-reviewed report also says dust storms affected collection and altitude was undetermined. D109’s official summary elsewhere repeats D108’s six-object and 480 mph narrative, so the report text, not that mismatched summary, controls this assessment.

Key takeaways
- The official description says CENTCOM submitted 1 minute 47 seconds of electro-optical and infrared footage from a U.S. military platform in 2022.
- The media description attributes an 80–180 mph speed range to companion report D109; the document also says dust affected collection and altitude was undetermined.
- At 00:27–00:31 the sensor switched to electro-optical mode and the contrast area left the field at the left edge.
- The official description, cached playback, and contact-sheet review support the sensor sequence and visible contrast areas only; they do not establish object identity, physical dimensions, independent velocity, or performance.
Why it matters
The release provides a source-labeled view of what the camera or sensor displayed while keeping reported characteristics separate from conclusions the imagery cannot support.
Corroboration
The official description, cached playback, and contact-sheet review support the sensor sequence and visible contrast areas only; they do not establish object identity, physical dimensions, independent velocity, or performance. The 15 video tracks are digitally silent, so they contain no speech to transcribe.
Open questions
- • What underlying sensor data or contemporaneous records, if any, could distinguish camera or display effects from scene motion?
- • Has AARO issued a case resolution or additional context for this specific release?
Probed separates this editorial assessment from the source claims below. It summarizes what the released artifact supports; it is not independent verification.
Official Description from War.gov
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 1 minute and 47 seconds of video footage from an electro-optical and infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2022. An accompanying mission report, DOW-UAP-D109, described the UAP as “traveling at various speeds between 80-180 miles per hour.” Video Description: 00:00-00:05: No content. 00:06-00:08: An area of contrast transits the sensor field-of-view, entering from the top of the frame and exiting from the bottom. 00:09-00:15: No content. 00:16-00:26: The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally centered within the frame. 00:27-00:31: The sensor switches to electro-optical mode, and the object moves out of the sensor field-of-view from the left edge of the frame. 00:32-00:45: The sensor switches to infrared mode and pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. 00:46-01:10: The sensor switches to electro-optical mode and pans to track the area of contrast. 01:11-01:12: No content. 01:13-01:42: The sensor switches to infrared mode and pans to track the area of contrast. 01:43-01:47: The sensor switches to electro-optical mode and pans to track the area of contrast.
