Department of War Releases Declassifies 2024 INDOPACOM UAP Report Under PURSUE Framework
The Department of War has made public a previously classified document concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena observed within the Indo-Pacific Command’s area of responsibility during the calendar year 2024. The file, labeled PR48, was disclosed pursuant to the newly instituted PURSUE policy, which obliges the Department of War to apply uniform reporting standards and to declassify material related to UAP encounters after appropriate review.
The report bears the formal title “Unresolved UAP Report INDOPACOM 2024.” It was assembled by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, operating in conjunction with the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, created in 2022, holds the mandate to gather and evaluate UAP data from across the Department of Defense and partner agencies. Information contained in the document derives from a variety of naval and airborne assets operating in the INDOPACOM theater. Sensor suites aboard these platforms captured radar returns, electro‑optic imagery, and infrared signatures.
The collected data includes track files and visual recordings, although the report does not disclose the specific technical characteristics of the sensors or the vehicles that generated them. The text does not provide an exact tally of the incidents examined.
Instead, it characterizes the cases as unresolved after the application of standard classification and analytical procedures. According to the narrative, the sightings unfolded over a span of several months throughout 2024. Analysts note that the observed objects displayed flight behaviors that could not be immediately correlated with any known aircraft type or with ordinary atmospheric or environmental phenomena.
The document explicitly states that, based on the information presently available, the incidents fail to satisfy the criteria required for attribution to foreign adversary technology or to natural causes. While the report refrains from offering speculation about the nature or origin of the objects, it underscores the necessity for continued investigation.
It also draws attention to the operational difficulties posed by the sheer expanse of the INDOPACOM region, particularly with regard to achieving comprehensive sensor coverage and integrating disparate data streams into a coherent picture. Looking ahead, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office retains the authority to solicit additional information from the units that originally recorded the encounters. Such requests may encompass maintenance logs, personal accounts from operators, and supplementary sensor captures.
Furthermore, the office can convene specialized analysis teams to re‑examine the existing material using advanced processing methods.
