What was reported
Nine seconds of infrared video submitted by US Indo-Pacific Command in 2024, with no oral or written description from the original reporter. The sensor holds focus on a football-shaped body with three radial projections, one vertical, two angled downward at 45 degrees, that stays fixed in orientation relative to itself.

Why this rating Single sensor, no reporter description; the described geometric shape (football body + 3 radial projections) is unusually specific among this batch's mostly formless 'areas of contrast', but a fixed shape held in frame for only 9 seconds is still consistent with a nearby drone, buoy-mounted reflector, or debris rather than confirmed performance beyond known technology.
