The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.
Infrared/FLIR footage showing a dark, amorphous thermal signature (cool object) against a lighter sky background, with the sensor crosshairs centered on the scene. The object appears as a faint dark spot that drifts slightly across the field of view.
