DOW-UAP-PR105: a five-minute UAP video with two minutes of activity
DOW-UAP-PR105 runs for nearly five minutes, but the Department of War describes sensor activity only through 02:05. The remaining 2:53 is labelled “No content.”
DOW-UAP-PR105 is a 2025 East China Sea record in PURSUE Release 04. Its public file runs for almost five minutes. The Department of War’s description assigns sensor activity to the first two minutes and five seconds; from 02:06 through 04:59, it says simply: “No content.”
What the record says happens
The entry describes an area of contrast against clouds. During the active portion, it intermittently loses distinctiveness against the background. The release also shows black rectangular overlays during part of that active window. It does not identify the contrast area or assign it a shape, range, altitude, or speed.
The time split matters. A five-minute runtime can look like five minutes of continuously observed activity. The official timeline does not describe that. It records roughly two minutes of intermittent tracking, followed by nearly three minutes with no described content.
Why the long tail is not new evidence
The later section does not add another observation simply because the video file continues to play. The public record labels it “No content.” That leaves the earlier passage as the material to assess, with no disclosed sensor configuration or supporting data package.
AARO’s release category is unresolved. The description is informational and does not make an analytical determination about the event’s validity, nature, or significance.
What would change the file
A source file with timing metadata, platform information, range data, or a second sensor view could make the contrast area easier to assess. None is supplied with PR105. The current release documents a short, intermittent infrared track over the East China Sea — and a much longer file tail that the Department of War says contains no content.
