Summary
Full-motion sensor video released by the Department of War documenting a UAP observation in the Persian Gulf area in the USCENTCOM area of responsibility on August 21, 2020. The Persian Gulf title is one of the few geographically explicit entries in the PURSUE Release 2 PR-series, which typically redacts location to 'CENTCOM AOR.'
Significance
One of the few entries with an explicit geographic designation ('Persian Gulf') rather than the generic 'CENTCOM AOR' redaction. The Persian Gulf is a strategically sensitive maritime zone with ongoing U.S. naval operations.
