Detail
Released through the PURSUE declassification, this record holds a nine-second infrared sensor clip 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 the Arabian Gulf in 2020, and the reporter provided no accompanying description.
In the footage, an area of contrast enters from the bottom-left quarter of the screen, follows a roughly straight path upward, and exits from the top-left quarter. The Department of War provided the video description for information only and drew no analytical conclusions.
