PURSUE Release 01: DOW-UAP-PR46, Unresolved UAP Report, INDOPACOM, 2024

DOW-UAP-PR46 is a Department of War video record released with PURSUE Release 01 on May 8, 2026. The release catalog identifies it as an INDOPACOM unresolved UAP report, lists the incident location as East China Sea, and gives no specific incident date beyond the 2024 title.¹

The DVIDS record was published by the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office as video ID 1006106. It describes a United States Indo-Pacific Command submission to AARO consisting of nine seconds of infrared-sensor footage from a U.S. military platform in 2024, with no oral or written observer description supplied by the reporter.²

  Nine Seconds Of Infrared Footage

The official video description covers the full 00:00-00:09 runtime. It says the sensor focuses on an area of contrast resembling a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one vertical projection and two projections angled downward about 45 degrees from the main body's long axis.²

That description is intentionally narrow. DVIDS presents it as viewing information only, not as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.²

The public metadata also separates location labels. The PURSUE catalog places the incident in the East China Sea, while the DVIDS metadata gives the release location as undisclosed.¹²

  No Paired Report

PR46 does not identify a paired Department of War PDF. In the release catalog, its video pairing, PDF pairing, and PDF or image link fields are blank, and the DVIDS description does not name an accompanying mission report.¹²

That absence matters because other PURSUE video records can be read beside companion MISREPs or range reports. PR46 has to be read more conservatively: the public record for this specific clip is the catalog entry, the DVIDS page, and the direct MP4 release asset.¹²³

  A Sparse Official Clip

PR46 matters because it preserves a short, official infrared video record from an INDOPACOM submission without the narrative scaffolding that usually helps readers interpret a military sensor clip. The record gives provenance, duration, command origin, location metadata, and a direct MP4, but it does not provide an observer statement, platform details, track data, environmental context, or an identified paired report.¹²³

Its evidentiary value is therefore limited but still useful. It is a public, citable artifact showing how AARO released an unresolved UAP media item while preserving cautionary language around the description and leaving the object identity unresolved.²³
