Summary
A 70-second infrared video, likely recorded by a U.S. military platform over the Yellow Sea in January 2023, shows the sensor panning and zooming to track areas of contrast that intermittently appear and fade against the background. It was uploaded to a classified network in June 2024, and AARO notes it duplicates record PR057b under a different uploader-assigned title.
Detail
Released through the PURSUE declassification, this Department of War video was identified by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) among records requested by U.S. House members in March 2026. AARO assesses the 70-second clip likely came from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating over the Yellow Sea in January 2023. A user uploaded it to a classified network in June 2024.
The footage shows multiple areas of contrast entering and exiting the sensor's field of view as it pans and cycles zoom levels; some areas become indistinguishable against the background while others are tracked across the frame. AARO comments that this media duplicates record DOW-UAP-PR057b, alternately titled "[Platform] observes UAP in East China Sea 05 JAN 2023 INDOPACOM," because two uploaders gave the same underlying material different titles. The description is informational only.
