Unresolved UAP Report, Atlantic Ocean, 2016
A 39-second infrared clip submitted by U.S. Northern Command shows a military sensor actively tracking an unidentified object over the Atlantic — zooming, panning, switching modes — before losing it off the right edge of the frame. What makes it noteworthy is the sensor behavior itself: the system is clearly working to maintain lock on something, suggesting the object had enough thermal contrast and movement to trigger active tracking. AARO has logged it as unresolved.
The United States Northern Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 39 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2016.
Video Description: 00:01-00:11: The sensor zooms in and out to track on an area of contrast, panning to keep it generally within the center of the frame. 00:12-00:29: The sensor switches modes. A white reticle surrounds the area of contrast. 00:30-00:36: The sensor stops tracking the object, causing it to exit the right side of the frame. 00:37-00:38: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the right side of the frame.
