Summary
The three keyframes show computer-generated scenes of an airliner over a landscape, lines of sight to a bright point, and a globe with labels "Satellite" and "Airplane"; the base imagery carries a Google credit. Per DVIDS description: Satellite flaring is an optical phenomenon which occurs when sunlight reflects off a satellite's surfaces, such as antennas or solar panels. This brief animation shows how the effects of satellite flaring can be misinterpreted as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
Note
Explanatory animation rather than incident footage; the audio track was not reviewed. The AARO page titles this "Animation: The Satellite Flaring Phenomenon"; DVIDS titles it "The Satellite Flaring Phenomenon".
