Full Record Description

DOW-UAP-PR035 is an official video record from Release 01 titled “Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023.” The primary source record is DOW-UAP-PR035, an official video record titled “Unresolved UAP Report, Greece, October 2023.” The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 24 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. The video-visible description is specific: 00:02: The sensor narrows its field-of-view to zoom in on an area of contrast near the center of the screen. 00:03-00:19: The sensor tracks the area of contrast as it moves against the ocean background. 00:20: As the background scene transitions from being predominantly water to land, the area of contrast becomes indistinguishable. This video is linked to DOW-UAP-D035, a mission report associated with Aegean Sea on October 29, 2023. A U.S. military operator reported observing a UAP “flying just above the surface of the ocean.” The report describes the UAP as “[flying] straight above the ocean towards lands.” All descriptive and estimative language contained in this report reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event.
