Military infrared footage showing an apparent heat signature with inconsistent public status metadata.

What the footage supports
AARO's current imagery index presents this record with unresolved descriptive text while also displaying a migratory-birds label. Until a complete resolution report reconciles that metadata, the defensible reading is that this imagery alone does not identify the source.
What the public record says
The public imagery page has presented inconsistent status text for this record, so the available description should not be treated as a settled identification.
Source-context summary—not a reconstructed quotation.
No mystery percentage. Just the record.
These labels evaluate what is publicly available, not whether a paranormal explanation is true.

What else could account for it?
Migratory birds
Physical heat source
Reflection, environmental contrast, or sensor effect
Evidence limits
The infrared signature lacks public performance data and a complete resolution methodology tied unambiguously to this exact record.
This is independent editorial analysis based on the public recording and official record. It is not a government conclusion. Assessments may change when better evidence becomes available.
New developments
The public label and descriptive text should be reconciled by a complete case report before the record is treated as resolved.
