WASHINGTON —** A peculiar shape recorded over the Yellow Sea has emerged from the shadows of the Pentagon’s classified archives, presenting investigators and the public with a new aerial mystery.
The infrared footage, reportedly captured by a United States military sensor platform in 2025, shows a bright object bearing what appears to be a six-pointed, star-like form. The object’s true shape, size, distance and method of movement remain uncertain, but government officials have officially placed the incident among the nation’s unresolved unidentified anomalous phenomena cases.
The video was made public on July 10, 2026, as part of the fourth release issued through the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, known as PURSUE. The government’s official listing identifies the case as **DOW-UAP-PR104, Unresolved UAP Report, Yellow Sea, 2025**. ([U.S. Department of War][1])
A still image released alongside the collection describes an infrared area of contrast resembling a six-pointed star. Other newly published images show unidentified areas of contrast against clouds and above bodies of water, along with photographs of unexplained objects observed in low-Earth orbit. ([U.S. Department of War][2])
The Yellow Sea lies between mainland China and the Korean Peninsula—an area watched closely by military forces due to its strategic importance. Yet the available public information does not reveal the exact location of the encounter, the altitude of the object, the aircraft or vessel carrying the sensor, or whether radar equipment tracked it independently.
That lack of information leaves the door wide open.
Was the object an unusual aircraft, a distant drone, a balloon or merely a distortion created by the infrared sensor? Could the star-like appearance be caused by heat bloom, focus problems or the internal workings of the camera itself?
Those possibilities cannot be dismissed.
However, the government has not declared the case solved.
Officials state that material published through PURSUE remains unresolved because investigators have been unable to make a definitive determination regarding the observed phenomena. The department also acknowledges that some cases may remain open simply because there is not enough reliable data available. ([U.S. Department of War][2])
The July release is part of a larger effort to locate, review and declassify UAP-related records scattered throughout numerous federal agencies. Officials say the project involves millions of pages and decades of material, with additional batches expected to be released on a continuing basis. ([U.S. Department of War][2])
For longtime UFO researchers, the Yellow Sea footage may prove frustrating. It offers a tantalizing image, an official military origin and a formal unresolved classification—but precious few answers.
Still, one fact remains difficult to ignore: somewhere over one of the most heavily observed regions in the world, an American military sensor recorded something strange enough to preserve, investigate and eventually release to the public.
Whether the object was a secret machine, a curious optical effect or something considerably more unusual remains unknown.
For now, the Yellow Sea keeps its secret.
You be the judge.
