DOW-UAP-PR46 is a 2024 incident report submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The record consists solely of nine seconds of infrared sensor video captured from an unspecified U.S. military platform over the East China Sea. No oral or written description was provided by the reporting personnel. The video shows an area of contrast displaying a football-shaped main body with three radial projections: one vertical and two angled downward at approximately 45 degrees from the object's major axis.
The report is notable for its near-total lack of accompanying data — no altitude, speed, heading, platform type, or witness statements are included, which severely limits any analytical assessment. The unusual morphology described (asymmetric projections on an elongated body) does not correspond to a commonly reported natural or man-made object class, though no determination is made here. The absence of OCR text confirms no additional written material was released. The record is classified as unresolved by AARO.
