DOW-UAP-PR47 is the PURSUE Release 01 catalog identifier for a 2023 USINDOPACOM infrared video classified as an “Unresolved UAP Report” with the location field “Japan” (pursue-release-01-catalog). IBTimes UK reports the clip “appears to show several contrasting objects maintaining formation during a military operation.”
Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary minoru-kihara confirmed on May 13, 2026 that Tokyo is reviewing this material alongside U.S. partners. PR47 is part of the same DOW-UAP-PR4x INDOPACOM cluster as PR46 (2024, East China Sea) and PR48 (2024, candidate offshore wind turbines per src-metabunk-pursue-analysis-2026-05). Skeptical analysis from joseph-trevithick argues the visually adjacent “football-shaped” 2024 object is consistent with a Chinese surveillance balloon (src-twz-pursue-shrug-2026-05).
