The Department of War has declassified a new Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) video, designated PR94, from February 13, 2020. The footage, captured by a platform operating under a callsign mission, shows an object recorded by an HD sensor. The release is part of the Pentagon’s ongoing transparency efforts under the PURSUE policy framework, which mandates the periodic declassification of UAP-related materials.
The video, identified by the filename dow-uap-pr094-callsign-mission-hd-2020-02-13, depicts an aerial object exhibiting flight characteristics that are not immediately consistent with known aircraft or atmospheric phenomena. According to the metadata, the sensor was operating in high-definition mode, and the object was tracked for a duration that suggests controlled flight. The exact location of the encounter has not been disclosed, but the platform’s callsign indicates it was on a routine mission.
The Department of War, in coordination with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), reviewed the footage and determined that it does not contain classified information. The release follows the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s directive to increase public access to UAP data while protecting sensitive sources and methods. The report does not speculate on the nature of the object but notes that it remains unidentified after initial analysis.
The PURSUE policy framework, established in 2022, requires the Department of War and other agencies to declassify UAP records unless they pose a risk to national security. This release is one of several under PR94, which covers incidents from 2020. AARO has stated that it will continue to evaluate such footage using advanced sensor data and intelligence community resources.
Moving forward, AARO may request additional data from the operating unit, including radar logs and operator testimony. The office can also interview personnel involved in the mission to gather contextual information. As part of its mandate, AARO will update the public on any new findings through its quarterly reports.
