DOW-UAP-PR046 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 footage captured by a U.S. military platform over the East China Sea. No oral or written description of the observation was provided by the reporting personnel. The footage 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 absence of contextual information — no altitude, speed, bearing, platform type, or witness account accompanies the footage. The lack of any reporter narrative limits analytical pathways considerably. The object's morphology, as described, does not obviously correspond to common aircraft or debris signatures, but no determination has been made. The record remains unresolved in AARO's holdings and carries no investigative conclusion as released.
