✦ AI visual analysis
Grayscale infrared footage over open ocean, with a textured wave pattern filling the frame and a patch of white-hot foam or spray visible in one lower corner. A black-and-white crosshair reticle with bracket corners and an "N" marker is centered on frame, with a small bright dot sitting directly at the reticle against the darker water background. The dot remains roughly centered as the sensor pans to keep it in view. Image quality is grainy with visible horizontal sensor streaking typical of a maritime infrared feed.
