This footage was transferred to AARO by the U.S. Navy Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Task Force in 2022. The source says it was likely captured by an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform during a 2015 incident in the Eastern United States. AARO identifies the case as an unresolved UAP report.

What the sensor shows, as described in the release:
