Unresolved UAP Report, East China Sea, 2024

DOW-UAP-PR102 is a 2024 incident report submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released by the Department of War on July 10, 2026. The record consists of 36 seconds of infrared sensor footage captured from an unspecified U.S. military platform over the East China Sea. The footage shows a sensor tracking an area of contrast for approximately 20 seconds before the object exits the frame at the top; the remaining seconds show the sensor zooming in and out with no subject visible.

The report is classified as unresolved. No OCR text is available, meaning no accompanying written analysis, metadata, or investigative findings are accessible in this release. Notable absences include platform identification, altitude, speed estimates, and any AARO analytical conclusion. The footage's brevity and the loss of the object from the sensor field-of-view limit what can be determined about the phenomenon's characteristics. The record contributes to the documented pattern of short-duration infrared UAP captures with inconclusive outcomes.
