Official description

The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 19 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.

AI visual analysis

Grayscale infrared aerial footage in inverted (black-hot) polarity over hazy, textured terrain, with a white crosshair reticle and "N" marker centered on frame. A small solid black circular blob sits directly at the crosshair, standing out sharply against the lighter gray background, with no internal detail or discernible shape beyond its round outline. A burned-in caption reads "Public disclosure of this information is postponed in accordance with 44 U.S.C. § 2107 Section 1843, UAP Postponement Code E.O. 13526." Black redaction bars cover portions of the top and side edges of the frame. Image quality is grainy throughout the 19-second clip.
