What was reported
27 seconds of infrared sensor video from a U.S. military platform, submitted by U.S. Northern Command. An area of contrast becomes visible, is briefly auto-tracked with a reticle and increases in apparent angular size, then exits frame right. No accompanying report, witness statement, or AARO Comment is provided; the government's own video description is the only content beyond the raw footage.

Why this rating Single infrared sensor, no accompanying report or witness statement, no described characteristic (shape, speed, size) beyond an auto-tracked 'area of contrast' that grows and exits frame; consistent with a distant conventional object approaching or the sensor zooming.
