DVIDS Releases AARO Video PR127 from the Pacific
DVIDS released AARO video report PR127, containing two minutes and 29 seconds of handheld footage from the Pacific Ocean. A U.S. service member recorded the apparent light in 2019 under low-light conditions, and the file had been digitally altered before it was reported to AARO.
Background
On August 7, 2026, the video report designated DOW-UAP-PR127 was made publicly available through DVIDS. The footage shows an apparent light recorded over the Pacific Ocean in 2019 by a U.S. service member using a handheld device.
The material belongs to the contemporaneously captured PR123–PR127 files. The official description explicitly notes that the file had been digitally altered before it was transferred to AARO and that the description does not constitute an analytical judgment or confirmation of the observed phenomenon's nature.
Significance
PR127 adds officially released military UAP footage to the public record while transparently documenting its limited visual quality and prior digital alteration. The report expands the traceable collection of individual AARO cases but does not support a reliable determination of the observed light's nature.
