Summary
A 46-second infrared video, likely recorded by a U.S. military platform in the U.S. Northern Command region in 2023, focuses on an area of contrast and around the 20-second mark appears to show a kinetic interaction in which the subject fragments in a radial pattern. The footage was uploaded to a classified network in February 2023.
Detail
Released through the PURSUE declassification, this Department of War video was identified by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) among records requested by U.S. House members in March 2026. AARO assesses the 46-second clip likely derives from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform operating in the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) area of responsibility in 2023. A user uploaded it to a classified network in February 2023.
Around the 11-second mark the sensor focuses on an area of contrast at the center of its field of view. Near the 20-second mark the footage appears to depict a kinetic interaction between two distinct contrast areas, with the original subject fragmenting in a radial displacement pattern suggesting a high-energy event. The description is provided for information only and reflects no analytical conclusion about the event.
