An infrared contrast tracked for 1 min 39 s (INDOPACOM, 2024)
INDOPACOM submitted 1 min 39 s of infrared video from a U.S. military platform. The sensor tracks one area of contrast, which stays roughly centred for the whole clip. That is the full description. The reporter gave no description. *Method note: war.gov blocks this server, and the video itself was not viewed. Everything in this write-up comes from the official war.gov description, as reproduced and summarised on the ufotransparency.com mirror page. The same clip is published on DVIDS (linked below). Location is the incident location shown in the war.gov listing, as carried on the mirror page. The official description states that it is "informational" and not "an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination".*

Plausibility weighs how well an account fits where secrecy hides the documents by design, so missing records never count against it. Strength measures what is documented. Assessed 2026-10-23.
