DOW-UAP-PR124, Unresolved UAP Report, Pacific Ocean, 2019
Key moments
Official description
The United States Navy Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) transferred this media to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022. The video contains 53 seconds of footage. This footage is a secondary capture, recorded via a hand-held recording device, of an infrared sensor display aboard a U.S. military platform. This footage does not represent native primary sensor data, and the secondary recording method introduces limitations in fidelity, resolution, and overall visual quality. Artifacts inherent to filming a screen, such as blurring or flickering, may be present. The footage contained within DOW-UAP-PR123 through DOW-UAP-PR127 was captured contemporaneously. This media was digitally altered before being reported to AARO, and is presented as it was received.
✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale infrared sensor footage with a center crosshair reticle and tick-mark tracking brackets, initially over a uniformly grainy gray background where a small dark object sits boxed at the reticle. By the final frame a horizon line becomes visible, with a lighter band above and a darker, mottled band below suggesting a water surface, and the tracked object is no longer clearly distinguishable within the noise near the top of the frame.
