Probed Assessment

The dossier DOW-UAP-PR107 details a 2020 UAP incident in the Eastern U.S., featuring 28 seconds of infrared video footage submitted to AARO by the U.S. Northern Command.

Key takeaways

  • In 2020, a U.S. military platform recorded an unidentified anomalous phenomenon in the Eastern United States using an infrared sensor.
  • The incident was documented and reported by the United States Northern Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
  • The report, labeled DOW-UAP-PR107, was cleared for release on July 10, 2026, indicating a delayed public disclosure.
  • The dossier lacks referenced documents or source material, relying solely on the report submission and video footage as its basis.

Why it matters

This material is significant as it contributes to the ongoing documentation and investigation of UAPs by military and government entities, highlighting the procedural handling of such incidents.

Corroboration

The dossier's claims rest on a single source: the report submitted by the U.S. Northern Command. There is no additional corroboration from independent sources or documents in the public record.

Open questions

  • What specific details does the 28-second infrared video footage reveal about the UAP?
  • Why was there a six-year delay between the incident and the report's public release?
  • Are there any additional reports or data from other military platforms regarding this incident?
  • What criteria does AARO use to evaluate and resolve such UAP reports?
  • Has there been any follow-up investigation or analysis conducted since the report's submission?
