WHAT IT IS
A tight group of small bright objects crosses an infrared frame over the sea and is tracked for forty seconds.
THE CASE FOR
The mission report describes six small spherical objects, 'seemingly agile' and 'frequently changing direction', at an estimated 480 miles per hour.
THE CASE AGAINST
The objects are small at this resolution and the speed is the reporter's estimate. AARO offers no identification.
WHERE IT STANDS
