PURSUE Release 01: DOW-UAP-D50, Email Correspondence, INDOPACOM, April 2025

DOW-UAP-D50 is a redacted Department of War PDF released in PURSUE Release 01 on May 8, 2026.¹ The release catalog identifies it as email correspondence tied to April 10-11, 2025, with INDOPACOM named as the area of responsibility rather than a more specific incident location.¹

The record is not the underlying mission report. It is a two-page email chain about whether short tearlines from that report could be handled at the unclassified level and whether the INDOPACOM AOR could be named in them.²

  How the Tearlines Were Cleared

One message asks for confirmation that two redacted tearlines are unclassified and that the AOR can be stated as INDOPACOM.² A later note from a PAROC Intel Data Analysis Technician Team Lead in 12 AF / DET 3 says the flying unit confirmed by phone that both lines and the INDOPACOM AOR were unclassified.²

The correspondence also includes an Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security information-disclosure analyst clarifying that the tearlines were approved at the unclassified level.² Names, contact details, and at least one subject-matter reference remain withheld under redaction markings.²

  Two Brief April Sightings

The first releasable line says a U.S. aircraft observed one possible UAP for 12 seconds at 2353Z on April 10, 2025.² The second says a U.S. aircraft observed one possible UAP for 23 seconds at 0007Z on April 11, 2025.²

Both lines leave altitude and speed unknown and state that no interference was noted.² The catalog summary repeats the release's caution that descriptive and estimative language reflects the reporter's interpretation at the time rather than a conclusive finding about object characteristics or performance.¹

  D50 Has No Paired Video

The release catalog lists no DVIDS video ID, video title, video pairing, or paired PDF for DOW-UAP-D50.¹ The public record for this item is therefore the email-correspondence PDF rather than a paired public-release video or separate supporting media file.¹²

  What the Emails Preserve

DOW-UAP-D50 matters because it preserves the disclosure workflow around two brief possible UAP observations: a mission report was reduced to unclassified tearlines, those tearlines were checked with the relevant unit, and INDOPACOM was approved as a releasable regional context.²

The evidentiary value is narrow but useful. The record provides precise UTC times, durations, and a no-interference statement, while withholding names and leaving the objects' altitude, speed, and underlying mission-report details unresolved.²
