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 27 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.
✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale infrared aerial footage over open water with a bank of clouds filling the lower half of the frame. An amber/orange crosshair reticle with bracket corners and an "N" marker sits center-frame. A small bright white point of light is visible above the cloud tops, positioned near or just above the crosshair depending on the frame. As the sensor pans, the cloud bank shifts and thickens, at times obscuring the lower portion of the point. Image contrast is moderate, with visible sensor grain and streaking consistent with a maritime infrared feed.
