PURSUE Release 01: DOW-UAP-PR47, Unresolved UAP Report, INDOPACOM, 2023

PURSUE

INDOPACOM infrared video records three contrast areas over Japan with no paired Department of War PDF.

Disclosure Rating — 5/10

DOW-UAP-PR47 is a Department of War PURSUE Release 01 video record for an unresolved UAP report submitted by United States Indo-Pacific Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. The release catalog marks it as redacted, lists the incident location as Japan, gives no separate incident date, maps it to DVIDS video ID 1006107, and names the public video title as Unresolved UAP Report Japan, 2023.12

  Infrared Video Over Japan

The record contains one minute and 59 seconds of infrared-sensor footage from a U.S. military platform in 2023. The public description says the reporter did not provide an oral or written account of the observation.12

Across the full 00:00 to 01:59 interval, the sensor tracks three distinct areas of contrast and keeps them generally near the center of the frame. DVIDS says the contrast areas appear to maintain a fixed position and orientation relative to one another.12

DVIDS lists the asset as courtesy B-roll associated with the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, with a 16:9 MP4 file set up to 1920 by 1080. The embedded media above is the direct DOD_111689142 MP4 from that file set.23

  Sparse PURSUE Catalog Trail

The Department of War catalog does not list a video pairing, PDF pairing, or remote PDF/image asset for PR47. Unlike PURSUE items that link a clip to a D-numbered mission report, range-fouler form, or email record, this entry's public context is limited to the catalog fields, the DVIDS page, and the DVIDS-hosted media file.123

The release description is deliberately narrow. It presents the timestamped visual description for informational purposes only and says readers should not treat it as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.12

  What PR47 Preserves

PR47 matters because it preserves a public media chain for an INDOPACOM submission to AARO: command source, agency cataloging, DVIDS video ID, runtime, sensor type, location label, and a direct MP4. At the same time, the empty pairing fields mean the release does not provide a linked operational report with exact collection circumstances, coordinates, platform details, observer narrative, or follow-up analysis.123
