DVIDS / AARO release
DOW UAP video: United Arab Emirates infrared report, 2024
DOW-UAP-PR029 is a 2024 infrared report associated with the United Arab Emirates and a vertical-pole or inverted-teardrop visual description.
What the video shows
The video shows an infrared object presentation that the release describes with a vertical pole or bar beneath the object and an inverted teardrop-like appearance.
Witness description
The release notes that an observer suggested the object might be a reflection from water. The public file does not provide a named witness or complete observation record.
Source and provenance
DVIDS published the clip as DOW-UAP-PR029. The public description links it to a U.S. military reporting channel and a 2024 event.
Evidence notes
The record is valuable because it preserves both the unusual visual description and a possible ordinary interpretation from an observer. It lacks enough public geometry to decide between object and reflection.
Possible explanations
Water reflection, sensor perspective, aircraft, drones or other conventional infrared sources remain plausible from the public material.
Verification notes
The archive keeps it as a disputed official video lead with an explicit evidence boundary.
