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 57 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.
✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale infrared footage over a hazy, low-contrast scene, with a blue crosshair reticle and "N" marker near center. A black rectangular digital overlay ("focus box") appears bracketing the reticle in several frames, consistent with an automated sensor tracking indicator rather than a visible object. One frame is almost entirely black, suggesting a brief loss of signal or obstruction of the sensor's field of view. No object with a clearly resolvable shape is distinguishable from the surrounding haze or terrain texture in the extracted frames.

Official video description
00:00-00:05: No content. 00:06-00:07: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of view from the bottom edge. 00:08-00:51: A rectangular digital overlay, or “focus box,” appears near the center of the frame. This display element is a graphical component of the sensor system and does indicate a physical change in the environment. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 00:52-00:57: The collection platform geometry occludes the sensor, blurring the display and blocking the right side of the screen.
