DOW-UAP-PR48 is a Department of War PURSUE Release 01 video record released on May 8, 2026. The catalog marks it redacted, identifies the agency as Department of War, lists the incident location as Indo-PACOM, gives the incident date as N/A, and maps the item to DVIDS video ID 1006110 with the public title Unresolved UAP Report, Indo-PACOM 2024.12
INDOPACOM Infrared Footage
The DVIDS record was published by the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office and describes a United States Indo-Pacific Command submission to AARO. The released media is one minute and 39 seconds of infrared-sensor footage from a U.S. military platform in 2024; the reporter provided no oral or written description of the observation.23
For the full 00:00-01:39 runtime, the official description says the sensor tracks an area of contrast and generally maintains it near the center of the frame. The description does not add shape, movement, altitude, speed, range, platform, or environmental details.2
DVIDS lists the release location as undisclosed and provides an MP4 file set up to 1920 by 1080. The embedded media above uses the direct DOD_111689167 MP4 from that file set.23
No Paired DOW Report
The PURSUE catalog does not identify a video pairing, PDF pairing, or PDF/image link for PR48. The public record for this item is therefore the catalog entry, the DVIDS page, and the direct video asset rather than a paired DOW mission report or email record.123
DVIDS also frames the visual description as informational only. It says the description should not be read as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.2
Provenance Without Identification
PR48 matters because it gives a public media chain for an unresolved INDOPACOM submission: command source, AARO handling, DVIDS ID, runtime, sensor type, regional label, and a direct MP4. It also shows the limits of the release: no observer narrative, no paired DOW report, no precise location beyond Indo-PACOM or undisclosed location, and no official finding about what the tracked contrast area was.123
Those constraints make the record useful as provenance, not as a standalone explanation. The video can be cited and viewed, but the official release leaves the underlying event, collection circumstances, and object identity unresolved.23
