Department of the Air Force-submitted 58-second IR video from a U.S. military platform over the Southern United States in 2020 (despite the 'Middle East' slug), with sensor acquiring reticle lock and tracking an area of contrast that grows in apparent size before exiting bottom-right. AARO comment notes the apparent size increase is likely partly due to the U.S. platform closing distance.
First-public AARO video report; DVIDS publication 2026-05-07/08. Note slug-vs-metadata location mismatch ('Middle East' slug, but document is Southern United States with USAF, not CENTCOM, as submitter).
