Description from war.gov

The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 57 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2023. Video Description: 00:00-00:05: No content. 00:06-00:07: An area of contrast enters the sensor field-of view from the bottom edge. 00:08-00:51: A rectangular digital overlay, or “focus box,” appears near the center of the frame. This display element is a graphical component of the sensor system and does indicate a physical change in the environment. The sensor pans to track the area of contrast. 00:52-00:57: The collection platform geometry occludes the sensor, blurring the display and blocking the right side of the screen. 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.

Machine summary

Written by Claude Sonnet 5 (Anthropic) on September 19, 2026, from the record's text and war.gov's description. It is not part of the record and can contain errors; check it against the document.

This record is a video (VID) submission originally provided by U.S. Indo-Pacific Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), documenting a 57-second infrared sensor clip recorded aboard a U.S. military platform in the Yellow Sea in 2023. The footage shows an area of contrast entering the sensor's field of view, followed by a digital "focus box" overlay appearing on-screen as the sensor tracks the object. The clip ends when the platform's own structure occludes the view, blurring and partially blocking the frame. No audio, narration, or crew commentary is included in the release.

The document contains no analytical conclusions — AARO explicitly disclaims that the video description reflects any investigative judgment about the object's nature or validity. No metadata on the specific platform, sensor type, or exact date/coordinates is provided beyond "2023" and "Yellow Sea," and no accompanying OCR or written incident report is attached. As with many AARO-forwarded UAP video releases, this record documents raw sensor data and system-generated display artifacts (the focus box) rather than a resolved identification, leaving the case classified as unresolved.
