Summary
In 2021, military personnel reported five equidistant lights on infrared that they believed were a potential incursion into restricted military airspace. AARO assessed "that the UAP in this case were almost certainly commercial aircraft travelling on well-established air corridors as far as 300 nautical miles from the platform." AARO attributes the apparent changes in shape to sensor vibration and autofocus.
