DOW-UAP-PR135, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025
This one-minute infrared release shows several contrast areas crossing the sensor field before the operator pans to keep them near center. The linked D108 report supplies the description of six grouped spherical objects, frequent direction changes, and an estimated speed; those are reporter characterizations rather than measurements established by this video. The official source expressly withholds an analytical conclusion.

Probed Assessment
Key takeaways
- The official description says CENTCOM submitted one minute of infrared footage recorded aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025.
- The accompanying D108 report is quoted as describing six grouped spherical objects, frequent direction changes, and an estimated speed; these remain reporter characterizations.
- From 00:05 to 00:10, several contrast areas crossed the sensor field from top to bottom.
- 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 of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025. An accompanying mission report, DOW-UAP-D108, described the UAP as “six small spherical objects grouped together, and characterized their behavior as “seem[ingly] agile,” and “frequently changing direction.” The reporter estimated the speed of the UAP to have been 480 miles per hour. Video Description: 00:00-00:04: No content. 00:05-00:10: Several areas of contrast transit the sensor field-of-view, entering from the top of the frame and exiting from the bottom. 00:11-00:47: The sensor pans to track the areas of contrast, keeping them generally within the center of the frame. 00:48-1:00: The sensor changes its level of magnification. No content. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.
