✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale infrared sensor footage showing a flat, low-contrast gray panel with a tracking bracket and crosshair reticle locked near the center of the frame. Two bright diagonal streak lines cross the image near the brackets, and a row of small telemetry/status blocks runs along the bottom edge. No clearly resolved discrete object shape is visible within the bracket — just an indistinct area of contrast against a hazy, uniform gray background.
