A 36-second infrared clip from a U.S. military platform over the East China Sea shows an unidentified object being tracked by a sensor before it exits the frame — fast enough that the operator zooms out trying to reacquire it. INDOPACOM found it unresolved enough to forward to AARO, meaning standard explanations didn't close the case.

The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 36 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024.

Video Description: 00:01-00:20: The sensor tracks an area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. 00:21-00:29: The area of contrast exits the sensor field-of-view at the top of the frame. 00:30-00:36: The sensor zooms out and in several times. No content
