Detail
Released through the PURSUE declassification, this record holds 24 seconds of infrared sensor footage that U.S. Central Command forwarded to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The video was recorded by a U.S. military platform over Greece in 2023.
The accompanying mission report characterized the phenomenon as small and circular, flying close to the ocean surface and moving toward land. In the footage, the sensor zooms in on an area of contrast near the center of the screen and tracks it against the ocean. The object becomes indistinguishable once the background shifts from water to land. The Department of War provided the description for information only.
