Citation-Ready Summary

DOW-UAP-PR121, Unresolved UAP Report, Gulf of Oman, 2021 is a declassified Video Evidence from Department of War. The record is dated 2021, was released in Release 05 on 2026-08-07 under the PURSUE initiative, and contains 1 file connected to Gulf of Oman.

DOW-UAP-PR121 is the fifth of six contemporaneous infrared clips recorded over the Gulf of Oman on 8 September 2021 and submitted by U.S. Central Command to AARO. The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 34 seconds of video footage. The official frame-by-frame description for DOW-UAP-PR121 reads: "00:00-00:12: An area of contrast remains generally within the center of the sensor field-of-view. Visual elements of the sensor display enter and exit the frame throughout the duration of the video. 00:13-00:18: A relatively larger area of contrast transits from the bottom of the frame to the top of the sensor's field-of-view, then re-enters from the top left to the bottom left of the frame. The relatively smaller area of contrast exits the bottom of the frame, and re-enters from the upper-right quarter of the frame. 00:19-00:34: The sensor adjusts, and an area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the top of the frame, and remains generally within the center of the frame. AARO Comment: This video footage significantly overlaps in content with DOW-UAP-PR122."
