DVIDS video: DOW-UAP-PR112 Eastern U.S. range-fouler report, 2019

DOW-UAP-PR112 is a DVIDS/AARO video posted July 10, 2026, showing a 2019 Eastern United States infrared range-fouler report from a civilian aircraft sensor.

What the video shows

DVIDS describes the public clip as 20 seconds of infrared footage from a sensor aboard a civilian aircraft. The video description says a contrast area is visible near the center, then exits left as the sensor changes zoom and display mode before the final seconds show no content.

Witness description

The public page does not identify the observer by name. DVIDS says a U.S. Navy submission to AARO included a Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D090, in which the phenomenon was characterized as small, moving straight in the opposite direction at high speed and unlike what the observer had seen in 28 years of Air Force and Navy service.

Source and provenance

The retained source is the official DVIDS page for DOW-UAP-PR112. The entry includes a DVIDS video ID, VIRIN, date taken, date posted and embeddable player. The thumbnail and public MP4 copy are stored locally; the original DVIDS page and embed remain linked for provenance.

Evidence notes

The official source, sensor context and associated debrief make the entry useful for an archive. It still cannot be treated as resolved evidence of an extraordinary object because the public version lacks range, speed derivation, aircraft track data and full sensor metadata.

Possible explanations

Possible explanations include an aircraft, balloon, airborne debris, sensor contrast or auto-gain behavior, a distant object seen at an uncertain range, or an unresolved object under limited public data.

Verification notes

Published as an official DVIDS/AARO video lead with local thumbnail and locally playable MP4; not independently verified by this archive.
