THE SOURCE
Five video records from the U.S. Department of War’s PURSUE Release 04, published at war.gov/ufo, cleared 10 July 2026: DOW-UAP-PR107 (Eastern United States, 2020), PR108 (Western United States, 2020), PR109 (Eastern United States, 2015), and PR110 and PR111 (Eastern United States, 2020). All five are titled Unresolved UAP Report. Four were submitted to AARO by United States Northern Command; PR109 was transferred to AARO in 2022 by the U.S. Navy’s UAP Task Force. Each record carries an official written description, and those descriptions are the source for every account of the footage in this briefing.
Why this one is worth your time
Alongside the Range Fouler pairs of Release 04 Briefing 8, the tranche carries five more clips over the United States itself, these without paired debriefs. Four are 2020 submissions from Northern Command; the fifth is 2015 footage that reached AARO through the Navy’s UAP Task Force in 2022, carrying a note in its own record that it was digitally altered before it was reported. This briefing summarises the five descriptions, clip by clip, and gathers the data-handling facts they state along the way.
What the clips show
Set beside the Indo-Pacific block of Release 04 Briefing 11, this group runs the same sensor grammar over different ground: contrasts acquired, held under reticles, lost at frame edges, display modes flashing the screen.
PR107, Eastern United States, 2020. 28 seconds, infrared. An area of contrast enters from the top right of the frame; the sensor pans to track it as it repeatedly leaves and re-enters the field of view, with a zoom out and in partway through.
PR108, Western United States, 2020. 2 minutes 16 seconds, infrared, the longest of the set, and much of it is housekeeping: stretches of no content and the footage flashing between normal operation and a black screen as the sensor changes display modes. From the 28-second mark the sensor zooms in and pans onto an area of contrast; an auto-tracking reticle surrounds it for roughly half a minute; after further zoom and contrast adjustments the contrast leaves the field of view to the left of the frame, and the description’s final entry ends in no content.
PR109, Eastern United States, 2015. 21 seconds, likely captured, its description says, by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform, and the oldest record in this briefing. The description opens with two data-handling statements, quoted in full below: no formal handling practices for UAP records existed when this was reported to the UAP Task Force, and the media was digitally altered before being reported, presented as received. The content itself is brief: an area of contrast becomes visible near the centre, transits the field of view from right to left, exits the upper left corner, and the footage then repeats at a slower playback speed.
PR110, Eastern United States, 2020. 27 seconds, infrared. An area of contrast becomes visible to the right of centre; an auto-tracking reticle surrounds it; the description records it gradually increasing in angular size before it exits the right side of the frame.
PR111, Eastern United States, 2020. 1 minute, infrared, and the set’s one many-object record: several small areas of contrast enter and leave the field of view as the sensor pans across the background scene; a reticle holds one generally centre-frame while several others periodically enter and exit; at the end the contrast is gone and the display flickers between a black screen and normal function as it cycles contrast modes.
What the five share, with most of this tranche’s footage, is brevity of signal: seconds of ambiguous contrast inside minutes of searching. The database holds all five as unresolved.
What the clips do not show
No object is identified anywhere in the five descriptions. Locations are given as “Eastern United States” and “Western United States” and dates as years: no state, no installation, no platform type, no altitude, speed or range.
PR109’s alteration note does not say what was altered, by whom or how. The record presents the file as received and stops; the original, unaltered form is not in the release.
None of the five arrives with a paired debrief or witness account. The three homeland clips in this tranche that do are the Range Fouler pairs of Briefing 8.
The release database flags PR107 and PR111 as redacted; PR108, PR109 and PR110 carry no such flag. The database does not state what was redacted.
Each description ends with the standard caveat that it reflects no analytical judgment about the event it describes; the sentence is quoted in full in Release 04 Briefing 11.
From the record
No formal data handling practices for UAP-related records existed at the time this media was reported to the UAPTF. This media was digitally altered before being reported to the UAPTF, and is presented as it was received by AARO. The opening of DOW-UAP-PR109’s official description
The area of contrast gradually increases in angular size. DOW-UAP-PR110’s description, during the reticle track
Several small areas of contrast enter and leave the sensor field-of-view as the sensor pans across the background scene. DOW-UAP-PR111’s description, its first line
Where the case connects
The homeland thread runs back through the archive. Release 02 Briefing 13 read three clips over United States airspace and the intelligence-report trail behind them; Release 02 Briefing 7 read a 2019 East Coast clip from the years when Navy aircrew were reporting frequent encounters in their Atlantic training ranges. The most documented homeland case in these releases, the Western US Event of October 2023, is Release 01 Briefing 2, with its expanded casefile in Release 03 Briefing 3; the FBI’s field forms on orb reports over the northeastern United States are Release 03 Briefing 2. Within this tranche, PR111’s several simultaneous contrasts make it the domestic counterpart of PR101’s “line” over the South China Sea in Briefing 11, and PR109’s alteration note repeats wording this archive first met on Release 02’s Karaganda clip, Briefing 10 of that release; a matching note sits on PR106 among the Briefing 8 pairs and on the 1996 tape, PR113, in Briefing 13.
The records leave their own loose ends. The five clips carry no paired reporting; the 2015 file’s unaltered original is not in the release; and year-only dates leave open whether the four 2020 records relate to anything else documented from that year, which the records do not say. Any later tranche that adds debriefs, originals or narrower dates lands in this series when it does.
