DOW-UAP-PR149 is a 2023 incident report submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The document consists of 51 seconds of infrared sensor video captured from a U.S. military platform operating in the Middle East. The footage shows an area of contrast entering the frame from the lower right and moving toward the lower left, after which the sensor actively tracks the object, keeping it centered in the frame for the remainder of the clip. No additional crew, platform, or sensor metadata is described in the available record.
The report carries an "unresolved" designation, meaning AARO did not reach a conclusive identification. The active sensor tracking behavior suggests the object was considered worth following in real time by either the operator or an automated system. No OCR text is available beyond the structured metadata, indicating the record may consist solely of video with minimal accompanying documentation. The Middle East operational context places it within CENTCOM's area of responsibility during a period of elevated UAP reporting by U.S. military assets.
