Middle East – A 2013 report submitted by the United States Central Command to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office documented an unidentified anomalous phenomenon recorded in infrared footage from a U.S. military platform.

The submission included one minute and 46 seconds of video captured by an infrared sensor. The reporter did not provide any spoken or written explanation of the observation.

The footage shows an area of contrast described as resembling an eight-pointed star with arms of different lengths.

At 00:10, the sensor narrows its field of view to zoom in on the object. From 00:11 to 00:29, the object moves within the frame and produces a visible trailing effect.

At 00:30, it exits the frame at the lower right corner of the display.

From 00:35 to 01:44, after an apparent cut, the object again appears within the sensor view, remains visible for a period, and then exits from the upper left section of the frame.

The report was submitted without interpretation from the original source. The description is presented only for informational reference and does not provide any conclusion regarding the nature or significance of the recorded event.
