Summary
Full-motion sensor video released by the Department of War documenting a UAP in the Northern Arabian Gulf area in June 2020. The Northern Arabian Gulf — a strategically sensitive waterway bordering Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, and Saudi Arabia — is among the most heavily patrolled CENTCOM maritime zones. The June 2020 date places this observation in a period of elevated CENTCOM UAP activity documented across multiple PURSUE Release 2 records.
Significance
Part of the documented cluster of CENTCOM-theater UAP observations spanning mid-2020, a period also represented by PR079 (Oct 2020), PR080-PR089 (Aug-Oct 2020). The Northern Arabian Gulf location adds maritime CENTCOM theater context.
