DOW-UAP-PR141, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2022
This 2022 release presents infrared and electro-optical views while the sensor tracks a contrast area and briefly records a second one at 00:52. Its media description attributes an 80–180 mph range to D109; the reviewed report also says dust affected collection and altitude was undetermined. D109’s official summary elsewhere repeats D108’s six-object and 480 mph account, so that mismatched summary is not used as evidence here.

Key takeaways
- The official description says CENTCOM submitted 2 minutes 36 seconds of paired 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.
- From 00:52 to 00:57, a second contrast area briefly entered the sensor field.
- 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 2 minutes and 36 seconds of video footage from an electro-optical (right) and infrared (left) 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: 00:00-00:12: An area of contract enters the sensor field-of-view from the lower right of the frame. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. 00:13-00:14: The sensor switches modes to display an infrared (left) and electro-optical (right) feed. 00:15-00:18: The object enters the frame from the lower right, transiting the sensor field-of-view and exiting from the upper left. 00:19-00:20: The sensor switches to infrared mode, panning to track an area of contrast. 00:21-00:27: The sensor switches modes to display an infrared (left) and electro-optical (right) feed. 00:28-00:52: The sensor switches to infrared mode, panning to track an area of contrast. 00:52-00:57: A second area of contrast briefly enters the sensor field-of-view. 00:58-01:16: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast. 01:17-01:21: The sensor switches modes to display an infrared (left) and electro-optical (right) feed. The sensor pans to track the object. The object leaves the sensor field-of-view from the left edge of the frame. 01:22-01:27: No content. 01:28-01:31: The sensor switches to infrared mode. No content. 01:32-02:36: The area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the lower left of the frame. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, intermittently losing contact with it.
