If the footage for PR-46 — INDOPACOM 2024 is inverted:
And the description is examined:
"(...) 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."

Lockheed Martin TARS (Tethered Aerostat Radar System) is also a very good fit and still in active service:

The rippling effect in the footage seems to originate from atmospheric turbulence, but it could also be partially produced by the aerostat deflating subjected to the wind.
