DOW-UAP-PR135, Unresolved UAP Report, Middle East, 2025
A 1-minute infrared video from a U.S. military platform in the Middle East in 2025, reported to AARO by U.S. Central Command. The mission report (DOW-UAP-D108) describes "six small spherical objects grouped together" that seemed "agile" and were "frequently changing direction," with an estimated speed of 480 miles per hour. Several objects cross the frame from top to bottom before the sensor tracks them; the case is unresolved with no official conclusion.
