Official description
A local law enforcement officer submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office consisting of 1 minute and 19 seconds of video footage from a commercially available cellular device’s rear-facing camera in October 2023. The reporting officer described the phenomenon as “silent” and as featuring “red, blue, and green flashing lights.”
✦ AI visual analysis
Vertical smartphone video of a night sky, heavily out of focus, showing a single bright bluish-white point of light with a soft glow and faint color fringing at its edges. A diagonal row of smaller, dimmer points is visible above and to the left in some frames, appearing steady and unrelated to the main light. The bottom of the frame is digitally blurred per AARO's stated privacy redaction, obscuring rooftops or ground-level lights that appear only as indistinct pale shapes. The footage shows minimal camera movement, consistent with the camera holding on the light source throughout.

Official video description
AARO digitally altered this footage by blurring the bottom half to obscure information whose release could be reasonably expected to affect the privacy or other protected interest of a U.S. person or commercial entity. 00:00-00:47: The camera pans to track an apparent light source, keeping it generally centered within the frame. 00:48-01:19: The camera increases and decreases its level of magnification several times and continues to pan to track the apparent light source.
AARO comment
Cellular devices of the type used to capture this footage employ autofocus and other automated image-processing functions that may distort the apparent morphological and kinematic characteristics of distant subjects, particularly at high magnification.
