DOW-UAP-PR029, Unresolved UAP Report, United Arab Emirates, June 2024
Key moments
Official description
The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 21 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. An accompanying mission report, DoW-UAP-D8, described the UAP as consisting of an object with a vertical pole or bar attached to the bottom of the object. The observer also reported that the UAP may instead be a reflection from an object in the water.
✦ AI visual analysis
Black-and-white infrared sensor footage over a textured, wave-covered ocean surface shows a small bright object shaped like an inverted teardrop or kite, with a compact bright head and a thin vertical line trailing downward beneath it. The object sits centered inside a cyan square tracking box next to the reticle, with corner HUD brackets and an 'N' orientation marker also visible. The object's position and shape remain essentially unchanged between the two frames.
