This is infrared video footage of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon in the East China Sea, submitted to AARO by United States Indo-Pacific Command. The footage was recorded in 2025 by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. The case is identified by the source as an unresolved UAP report, and the released file is redacted.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:

00:01-00:14: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast, keeping it generally centered within the center of the frame.
00:15-00:19: The sensor adjusts, and the image is momentarily overlaid with black rectangular areas.
00:20-1:34: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast, keeping it generally centered within the center of the frame. Portions of the area of contrast intermittently lose distinctiveness against the background throughout this segment.
01:35-02:05: The sensor zooms in, panning from right to left to track the area of contrast. The area of contrast exits the scene from the right edge of the frame several times.
02:06-04:59: The sensor zooms out and in several times, and pans the field-of-view against the background. No content.
