Official Description
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. Video Description: 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. This video description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.

Analyst Notes
The evidentiary basis is limited to nine seconds of infrared sensor footage with no accompanying witness testimony, written description, or corroborating sensor data from additional platforms. The football-shaped appearance with radial projections is consistent with a range of mundane objects (e.g., balloons, drones, debris) when viewed in infrared. The brevity of the footage severely limits kinematic or behavioral analysis. No altitude, speed, or range data is provided.
