Detail
This PURSUE-declassified record contains one minute and 46 seconds of infrared sensor footage submitted by U.S. Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The video was captured by a U.S. military platform in the Middle East in 2013, with no description provided by the reporter.
The footage shows an area of contrast resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of alternating length. The sensor zooms in and tracks the object, which leaves a visible trail as it moves before exiting the frame. After an apparent cut, the object remains in view before exiting from the top-left quarter of the screen. The Department of War supplied the description for information only.
