Official description
The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of one minute and 59 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.
✦ AI visual analysis
Close-up aircraft sensor/avionics HUD-style display with a teal crosshair and bracket-corner reticle centered on a red circular target-lock indicator, alongside a small black dot marker just below it and dark rounded-rectangle instrument symbology along both sides of the gray background. The composition stays essentially static between the two grabbed frames, consistent with the official description of multiple fixed-position areas of contrast.
Generated with AI from the official file — may contain errors.
Official video description
00:00-01:59: The sensor tracks three distinct areas of contrast, maintaining their positions generally within the center of the frame.
