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 59 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.
✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale infrared footage over open water, rendered with a diagonal streaked texture typical of a maritime sea-surface sensor feed. A teal crosshair reticle with bracket corners and an "N" marker sits center-frame. One frame shows a small white-hot maritime vessel with a visible wake near the reticle; in the remaining frames the sensor appears to be tracking a fainter area of contrast that blends into the surrounding sea clutter and blur, with no clearly resolvable shape. Two black redaction boxes are present along the top edge of the frame throughout.
