East China Sea: Infrared sensor images football-shaped body with three projections
In 2024 an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in the Indo-Pacific recorded nine seconds of an area of contrast resembling a football-shaped body with three radial projections; U.S. Indo-Pacific Command submitted the footage to AARO without any description.
Background
According to the official description, the United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report consisting of nine seconds of infrared video from a U.S. military platform in 2024; the reporter provided no oral or written description of the observation. The video description states that from 00:00 to 00:09 the sensor focuses on an area of contrast that resembles a football-shaped body with three radial projections, one oriented vertically and two oriented downward at a 45-degree angle relative to the major axis of the main mass. The record title places the case in the INDOPACOM area and the WAR.gov index names the East China Sea; platform, date and exact location are not disclosed. AARO lists the report as unresolved and stresses that the description is not an analytical judgment. The details are taken from the records released by the U.S. Department of War (record code DOW-UAP-PR46) and do not represent an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
