01 Official description
The United States Central Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 18 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023.
Video Description:
00:01: The sensor focuses on a dark area of contrast, narrowing the field of view to zoom in.
00:02: Two bright areas of contrast transit the frame from left to right.
00:03: The sensor zooms out, keeping the bright areas of contrast within the frame.
00:05: The bright areas of contrast exit the right side of the frame.
00:07: The sensor refocuses on the dark area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame.
00:10: A reticle surrounds the dark area of contrast, which continues to remain generally within the center of the frame.
00:17: The sensor changes contrast and zoom settings, causing the frame to flash white.
