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 27 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. Video Description: 00:00-00:02: An area of contrast is visible above and to the left of the center of the frame. 00:03-00:27: The sensor increases its level of magnification and pans to track the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame. 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.

Official description of a 27-second infrared sensor video from a U.S. military platform over the Yellow Sea in 2023, submitted by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command to AARO as an unresolved UAP report. The video shows an area of contrast that the sensor magnifies and tracks; no further characteristics are described.
Analyst Notes
Only a brief text description of the video was available. It gives no range, altitude, speed, or object characteristics, and the description explicitly disclaims any judgment on the event's nature. An area of contrast in IR video could be a distant aircraft, bird, or sensor artifact. There is no corroborating radar or witness data, and the exact date and platform are not given.
