Official description
The United States Africa Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of two seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.
✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale, wide-angle (fisheye-distorted) infrared aerial view from high altitude, showing a curved horizon line separating a bright sky from dark terrain below with winding river channels and a small cluster of buildings. A cyan crosshair reticle and small tracking brackets sit near center, with an 'N' compass marker; black redaction bars appear in the corners. No distinct airborne object is visible in either sampled frame — the described small contrast area is not resolvable in these stills.
