Official description

The United States Navy Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) transferred this media to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022. The video contains 21 seconds of footage likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2015.

AI visual analysis

Monochrome infrared sensor footage shows layered diagonal cloud bands filling most of the frame, viewed from an aircraft looking down at an angle. A tiny bright square dot is visible near the top edge of the frame. A stationary HUD overlay with a central crosshair reticle, vertical tick marks, and horizontal bracket lines remains fixed over the moving cloud texture.
