The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of nine seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.

Brief IR targeting footage showing a small, irregularly shaped bright object (white-hot) centered in tracking brackets against a uniform gray sky. The object has an asymmetric or multi-lobed thermal signature, remaining relatively stationary.

00:00-00:09: The sensor focuses on an area of contrast that resembles a football-shaped body with three radial projections: one oriented vertically, and two oriented downward at a 45-degree angle relative to the major axis of the main mass.
