PR-003, Resolved as Migratory Birds, Africa 2023

This file is a silent infrared video published in AARO's Official UAP Imagery collection. According to the releasing agency, in 2023 the United States Africa Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of four minutes and fifty-eight seconds of footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform. AARO states the footage shows an apparent heat signature with characteristics consistent with those of a physical object, but notes it cannot determine whether the signature originates from a physical source (thermal emission or reflection) or another source such as a heat differential in the environment or a sensor display error, and that the available data is insufficient to evaluate the phenomenon's performance characteristics. The case title indicates AARO resolved the phenomenon as migratory birds. No text was extractable from the video itself; this metadata is drawn from the AARO source page context.
