U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM)
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) is the U.S. unified combatant command responsible for the Indo-Pacific area of operations, headquartered in Hawaii. It oversees U.S. military activity across an area of more than 100 million square miles, encompassing the Pacific and Indian oceans.
UAP relevance
USINDOPACOM is identified in pursue Release 01 (src-pursue-portal-launch-2026-05, src-sunday-guardian-162-files-2026-05) as the reporting command for a 2024 sighting near Japan of a “football-shaped” airborne object — one of the named carousel images in PURSUE’s Release 01 evidence set. joseph-trevithick flagged the same object as visually consistent with a Chinese high-altitude balloon (src-twz-pursue-shrug-2026-05).
Space.com’s mike-wall (src-space-com-pursue-video-trove-2026-05) adds two specific INDOPACOM video citations: a 9-second IR clip described as a “football-shaped body with three radial projections” (one vertical, two at 45° below the major axis), and a 100-second 2024 IR clip showing a bright dot moving through an array of windmills — likely the record src-metabunk-pursue-analysis-2026-05 identifies as PR-48 = candidate offshore wind turbines.
