This record, DOW-UAP-PR143, is a video (VID) document released September 18, 2026, pertaining to a 2023 incident in the Yellow Sea. The material originated with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, which forwarded a 19-second infrared video clip captured by a sensor aboard a U.S. military platform to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) as an unresolved UAP report. The available description notes only that the sensor tracks an area of contrast, keeping it centered in frame for the duration of the clip. No OCR text or additional narrative documentation accompanies the release.

The record is notable primarily for its brevity and lack of analytical content — the accompanying description is explicitly non-interpretive, offering no judgment on the object's nature, speed, altitude, or behavior beyond the sensor's tracking action. No context is given regarding the platform type, exact date, or reason the object was flagged as anomalous. As with many AARO-forwarded infrared clips, the case remains formally unresolved, with the raw footage the sole substantive artifact in the file.
