Official description
A local law enforcement officer submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office consisting of 27 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 dark night sky, out of focus, with several overhead power lines crossing the frame. A single bright white point of light with a soft, slightly diffuse glow sits in the upper third of the frame, positioned between the lines. No ground, horizon, or other objects are visible in any of the sampled frames. Camera framing is largely static, with the light source held roughly centered throughout the clip.

Official video description
In the first 2 seconds of this video, 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. 00:00-00:27: The camera increases its level of magnification and focuses on an apparent light source for the duration of the video, keeping it generally centered and within the top third of the frame.
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.
