Official description

The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 1 minute of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020.

AI visual analysis

Grainy black-and-white infrared sensor footage against a near-black background with a targeting reticle overlay: a central crosshair, angled tracking-gate lines, and a -5 degree elevation readout. A faint bright patch of noise appears in the upper-right corner, and a small square tracking gate is visible near the crosshair in the second frame, but no distinct object is clearly resolved against the dark background.

Official video description

00:01-00:21: Several small areas of contrast enter and leave the sensor field-of-view as the sensor pans across the background scene. 00:22-00:41: An auto-tracking reticle surrounds an area of contrast, and the sensor pans to keep it generally within the center of the frame. Several other areas of contrast periodically enter and exit the frame. 00:42-00:49: The sensor zooms out. 00:50-01:00: The area of contrast is no longer visible within the frame. The sensor display flickers between a black screen and normal function as it cycles contrast modes. No content. This video description is provided for informational purposes only.
