Unresolved UAP Report, INDOPACOM, 2023
The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of one minute and 59 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.
Targeting system footage showing a centered crosshair with a small red circle reticle against mostly dark and gray backgrounds. A very small bright point appears near the crosshairs in one frame, suggesting the sensor is searching for or loosely tracking a distant, faint object at extended range.
00:00-01:59: The sensor tracks three distinct areas of contrast, maintaining their positions generally within the center of the frame. The areas of contrast appear to maintain a fixed position and orientation relative to one another.
