THE YELLOW SEA AND EAST CHINA SEA VIDEOS

U.S. Indo-Pacific Command reported six infrared clips from 2023 over the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, released in PURSUE Release 06 on September 18, 2026, plus a nine-second 2024 clip of a football-shaped object from the first release. Here is what each shows, and where the set sits in the military UAP record Umbra indexes.

WHAT THE FOOTAGE SHOWS

Five clips are over the Yellow Sea and one over the East China Sea, all from 2023, and in every one the sensor pans to track an area of contrast and keep it generally in the center of the frame. DOW-UAP-PR143 (19 seconds) is the clearest: a small dark round area against the sea, followed for the full clip. PR144 (27 seconds) shows a contrast at the upper left that the sensor magnifies and follows from 0:03. PR151 (49 seconds) is a continuous pan with zoom steps, and PR152 (1 minute 38) one unbroken track. PR148 (East China Sea, 59 seconds) starts with three seconds of no content, then a 42-second track, then a magnification increase.

WHAT TO IGNORE IN THE FRAME

PR150 (57 seconds) is a useful example of reading the display. A rectangular "focus box" appears near the center from 0:08 to 0:51; AARO notes this is a graphical component of the sensor system and does not indicate a physical change in the environment. At 0:52 the geometry of the collection platform occludes the sensor, blurring the display and blocking the right side of the screen.

THE 2024 FOOTBALL SHAPE

DOW-UAP-PR046 (East China Sea, 2024, nine seconds) came in the first release. AARO says the sensor focuses on an area of contrast that resembles a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one vertical and two pointing downward at 45 degrees to the long axis. The reporter gave no written or oral description.

WHERE IT SITS IN THE RECORD

The six 2023 clips are in Release 06 (September 18, 2026); PR046 is from Release 01 (May 8, 2026). Both are U.S. Indo-Pacific Command reports to AARO. Umbra plays each with AARO's full description.
