DOW UAP video: Spherical object with erratic movement, 2022
DOW-UAP-PR054 is an August 2022 EUCOM-area report involving a spherical object described with erratic movement.
What the video shows
The infrared video centers on a contrast source while the sensor pans and tracks it. The public title emphasizes spherical appearance and erratic movement.
Witness description
The public release does not include a named witness or detailed observer statement. It is a military platform sensor clip.
Source and provenance
DVIDS published the video as DOW-UAP-PR054. The description says the public version was digitally altered and that observed performance characteristics may be influenced by those alterations.
Evidence notes
The explicit warning about digital alteration is important. It means motion seen in the public clip cannot be interpreted as object motion without caution.
Possible explanations
Sensor tracking, stabilization artifacts, aircraft, drones, balloons or atmospheric contrast can remain plausible.
Verification notes
The archive lists this as an unresolved official video with a strong caution about public-video processing.
