Key moments
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 32 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2020. An accompanying Range Fouler Debrief, DOW-UAP-D091, describes the phenomenon as “darker, maroonish color, approximately 12-15 feet in height.” The report describes the phenomenon “travel[ing] with the wind” and noted that it did not “maneuver or change direction.” It also describes the phenomenon as appearing similar to a “large, somewhat deformed balloon.”
✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale full-motion video from an airborne sensor tracking a small dark object framed between two vertical white tracking-gate brackets against a featureless hazy gray sky. The object has an angular, aircraft-like silhouette with faint protrusions on either side. A separate faint bright point is visible near the top of the frame, unrelated to the tracked object. The image is low-contrast, grainy, with no visible horizon or terrain.
