DOW-UAP-PR112, Unresolved UAP Report, Eastern United States, 2019
Key moments
Official description
The United States Navy submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 20 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a civilian aircraft in 2019. An accompanying Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D090, describes the phenomenon as exhibiting “flight characteristics unlike anything [the observer] had seen in 28 years [of service] for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The report characterizes the phenomenon as “small” and “travelling in a straight line [in the] opposite direction at high speed.”
✦ AI visual analysis
A grayscale infrared aerial sensor view shows a coastline and horizon line under an overcast sky, with heavy black redaction bars covering much of the on-screen display and an 'N' heading marker near the top. A crosshair reticle sits near the center of the frame with a faint, barely distinguishable dark speck close to it, nearly lost in the sensor's film grain. The two captured frames are nearly identical, showing little apparent movement of the tracked object.
