Unresolved UAP Report, INDOPACOM, 2023

DOW-UAP-PR047 is a 2023 video report submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The record consists of approximately two minutes of infrared sensor footage captured from a U.S. military platform in the vicinity of Japan. No oral or written description of the observation was provided by the reporting party. The footage shows three distinct areas of contrast that remain roughly centered in the frame and maintain a fixed position and orientation relative to one another throughout the clip.

The absence of any accompanying observer narrative or written report limits what can be determined from the record alone. The fixed relative positioning of the three contrast areas could be consistent with multiple explanations, but AARO made no analytical determination in this release. The record is classified as unresolved. No portions appear redacted, but the lack of sensor metadata, altitude, platform type, or corroborating data represents a significant gap for any follow-on analysis.
