DOW-UAP-PR110, Unresolved UAP Report, Eastern United States, 2020
The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 27 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. Video Description: 00:01-00:02: No content. 00:03-00:10: An area of contrast become visible to the right of the center of the frame. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast, causing it to appear to move about the field-of-view. 00:11-00:19: An auto-tracking reticle surrounds the area of contrast. The area of contrast gradually increases in angular size. 00:20-00:22: The area of contrast exits the sensor field-of-view to the right side of the frame. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.

Where this file fits in the PURSUE archive
This file is one of DoD's 171 files in the Trump PURSUE disclosure. Within the DoD agency block it ranks #6 of 171 by Anomalousness Index. Across the entire 334-file archive it ranks #20 of 334.
That places it just above the archive's densest scoring band - the 78 files tied at 66 - among the small group of top-scoring files.
For the broader cluster context, this file is part of Release 02 Pentagon UAP Videos - the 51-file DOW-UAP-PR050-PR099 series released in PURSUE Release 02 on May 22, 2026. The cluster page walks through all 51 member files with regional grouping, sensor breakdown, and standout analysis.
Anomalousness Index: 68/100
Evidentiary weight that this encounter remains unexplained after conventional analysis. Not a probability of extraterrestrial origin - that number is not honestly computable from the released files and this tracker refuses to publish it.
🤖 AI-ASSISTED SCORING · methodology
The six rubric components break down for this file as follows. Each component has a weighted contribution to the final score; the per-component explanation below describes what this file's particular value on that component means in the rubric's framework.
This file from the Department of War is a single-sensor military capture - one instrumented platform, one modality, time-stamped and recoverable rather than a witness account. The rubric scores it below a multi-sensor capture because cross-modality confirmation (the same object seen by two independent sensor types at once) is the higher bar on this axis, and that confirmation isn't present here.
Reported by trained U.S. military personnel during an operational mission (2020) - the rubric's second-highest witness-credibility tier, one step below astronaut testimony. This profile is shared across the AARO-submitted infrared-capture cluster that anchors the archive's densest scoring band, at 66.
On corroboration, this file from the Department of War - like every single-tier file in the PURSUE archive - is a single-witness or single-instrument capture per the released metadata. The rubric doesn't infer multi-witness confirmation the summaries don't actually establish; this score reflects the honest limit of what was released, not a judgment about the underlying event.
The released file contains no speed, acceleration, or vector data precise enough to score on the kinematic axis - and that's true archive-wide, not specific to this file. The rubric declines to infer kinematic anomaly from a witness's narrative estimate of how fast something moved; that itself says something about what PURSUE actually released: descriptive accounts, not flight-path telemetry.
Every file in the archive, including this one, scores this tier: a conventional explanation was considered in the released record but isn't treated as dispositive. That's a pattern in how war.gov's own summaries are written - they consistently hedge against strong conclusions either way - and the rubric takes that hedging at face value rather than resolving it for them.
This file was released as open by the Department of War after a formal review process concluded - not simply logged and left pending. That's a stronger disposition signal than 'unresolved, no review': a review actually happened, and remaining open is the Department of War's own published conclusion from it, not an absence of one.
Bottom line on the score: the Anomalousness Index of 68/100 reflects evidentiary weight that this specific file's encounter remains structurally unexplained by the rubric's six axes - it is not a claim that the underlying event involved anything non-conventional, and it is not comparable across rubrics that use different weights.
