One minute 49 seconds of infrared video submitted by the Department of the Army in 2026 (the most recent incident date in this batch), with no oral or written description from the original reporter. The sensor disengages from an initial area of interest, pans to track two new areas of contrast, then cycles zoom levels rapidly before settling on a centered track.
