ANALYSIS SUMMARYThis analysis was prepared by Dr. Elara Voss using publicly available source material. It should be verified against the original source documents.

DOW-UAP-PR115 is an infrared video case from the Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico) in 2019. The still image shows an area of contrast against a water surface background, suggesting a low-altitude capture with the object near or over the water. The 2019 date is significant in UAP disclosure history — it is the year the Navy officially acknowledged the FLIR1, Gimbal, and GoFast videos and the period of the first formal UAPTF briefings to Congress. Whether this case is connected to the broader 2019 Navy UAP observation cluster is not stated. The use of 'Gulf of America' in the official PURSUE database reflects the Trump administration's formal renaming of the Gulf of Mexico.

Published as DOW-UAP-PR115 in PURSUE Release 04. The 2019 date places this alongside the Navy UAP videos (FLIR1, Gimbal, GoFast) which were officially acknowledged in 2019–2020.
