Summary
Full-motion video released by the Department of War depicting four unidentified aerial objects flying in formation over water near Iran on August 26, 2022. The objects were observed and recorded by U.S. military sensor assets operating in the USCENTCOM area of responsibility. The formation behavior is significant as a multi-object observation with persistent coherent spacing — consistent with the 'orbs launching other orbs' formation pattern documented in PURSUE Release 1's 2023 Western U.S. cases.
Significance
One of three video records in PURSUE Release 2. The four-object formation over a contested maritime theater (near Iran) provides sensor documentation of multi-object UAP behavior in the USCENTCOM area of responsibility. The August 2022 date places it in the same operational period as DOW-UAP-D016 (Syria, July 2022) and DOW-UAP-D018 (Iraq, December 2022) from Release 1, extending the documented pattern of CENTCOM-theater UAP activity.
