U.S. Indo-Pacific Command provided AARO with a one-minute, 59-second infrared video of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon recorded by a U.S. military platform in 2023. The reporter gave no description, and the footage shows three distinct contrast areas holding a fixed position relative to one another.
Released through the PURSUE declassification, this record holds one minute and 59 seconds of infrared sensor footage submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The video was recorded by a U.S. military platform over Japan in 2023, with no accompanying description from the reporter.
In the footage, the sensor tracks three distinct areas of contrast and keeps them generally centered in the frame. The three areas appear to maintain a fixed position and orientation relative to one another throughout the clip. The Department of War provided the description for information only.
