DVIDS / AARO release
DOW UAP video: Africa infrared report, 2025
DOW-UAP-PR043 is a short USAFRICOM infrared UAP report from Africa in 2025.
What the video shows
The released clip is only a few seconds long and shows a small area of contrast moving across the infrared frame before leaving view.
Witness description
The public item does not include a named witness or a detailed observational statement. It is a sensor record submitted by U.S. Africa Command.
Source and provenance
DVIDS released the clip as DOW-UAP-PR043, with the description stating that USAFRICOM submitted the footage from a U.S. platform in 2025.
Evidence notes
The official origin is important, but the short duration and lack of supporting context make the evidence thin. There is not enough public information to determine size, range, altitude or speed.
Possible explanations
A distant aircraft, balloon, bird, drone, sensor artifact or thermal contrast could remain plausible depending on the platform and viewing geometry.
Verification notes
The archive publishes the clip as an unresolved official lead with very limited public detail.
