Description from war.gov

The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 49 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. Video Description: 00:00-00:15: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast. 00:16-00:18: The sensor increases its level of magnification and pans to track the area of contrast. 00:19-00:49: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.

This is a Department of War video record (DOW-UAP-PR151) released September 18, 2026, documenting an unresolved UAP report from the Yellow Sea in 2023. The record consists of 49 seconds of infrared sensor footage captured aboard a U.S. military platform and submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The accompanying video description notes only sensor behavior: the system pans to track an area of contrast, increases magnification briefly around the 16-18 second mark, and continues tracking the object near the center of frame through the remainder of the clip. No narrative report, analyst commentary, or OCR text accompanies the video.

The record is notable for its minimal accompanying documentation — no crew statements, radar correlation, or AARO analytical conclusions are included, and the disclaimer explicitly states the video description carries no evidentiary or interpretive weight. This places the record among a class of AARO case files consisting of raw sensor data without resolution: the phenomenon is described only in terms of sensor tracking behavior ("area of contrast"), not as an identified object. As with comparable Indo-Pacific Command submissions, the case appears to remain in unresolved status, with the underlying platform, exact coordinates, and sensor type withheld or not specified in the released material.
