According to AARO, the report came from a U.S. military Service and included eight minutes and fifteen seconds of video footage recorded using an infrared sensor. The footage shows what appears to be a thermal contrast — essentially, an area in the infrared field of view that stands out from the surrounding background, hinting at the possible presence of a physical object.

Unfortunately, without supporting telemetry or multi-modal sensor readings (such as radar or optical tracking), we cannot determine whether the observed signature is a true physical object, a reflection, a thermal emission, or simply a sensor artifact.
