Official description

The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 14 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2025.

AI visual analysis

Grayscale infrared footage with low contrast and a hazy, washed-out sky, framing a coastline or shoreline with breaking waves in the foreground and what appear to be two thin vertical mast- or tower-like structures near the shore. A green crosshair reticle with an "N" heading marker sits below center, corner tracking brackets are visible, and a black redaction block covers part of the shoreline near the crosshair along with several rectangular black blocks along the top edge. A small, flat, dark silhouette hovers above the horizon roughly in the upper-middle of the frame in all three images; its outline is indistinct due to the haze and low resolution, and no further detail is resolvable.
