DOW-UAP-PR048 is a 2024 video record submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) as part of the Department of War's PURSUE Release 01. The document consists of one minute and 39 seconds of infrared sensor footage captured from an unspecified U.S. military platform at an unspecified location within the Indo-Pacific area of responsibility. No oral or written description of the observed phenomenon was provided by the reporting party. The footage shows a sensor tracking an area of contrast that remains generally centered in the frame throughout.
The record is notable for its near-total lack of contextual information: no platform type, altitude, geographic coordinates, sensor specifications, or observer narrative are included. The absence of any accompanying report limits what can be assessed from the footage alone. AARO's classification of the incident as "unresolved" indicates no identification was reached. The record fits a recurring pattern in the UAP corpus of infrared-only submissions with minimal metadata, which constrains analytical and investigative follow-up.
