The United States Indo-Pacific Command submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of 1 minute and 16 seconds of video footage from an infrared sensor aboard a U.S. military platform in 2024.

Video Description:

00:01-01:16: The sensor pans to track an area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame.

00:12-01:16: An auto-tracking reticle surrounds the area of contrast. The sensor tracks the area of contrast, keeping it generally within the center of the frame.

It seems to be pyramid shaped, just drifting along (could be a balloon I suppose) but at the 0m37s point it appears to open up like a flower for 5 seconds, and then close again.

Trimmed and zoomed video:

This one is weird. ...at the 0m37s point it appears to open up like a flower ...

Maybe a focus change?

Maybe a focus change?

It happens around the time when the objects stop moving from left to right in the frame and just before the drone start banking the other way. I think a change in the angle of reflected light is more likely.
