A diamond shape appeared only in SWIR

A USCENTCOM and Air Force Special Operations surveillance aircraft flying out of LGLR saw a single diamond shaped object with a steady tail or probe at about 0509Z on 25 January 2024, visible only on the short wave infrared camera for about two minutes. The fact that it showed up in one sensor mode and not the others is the reason to read it, because then the sensor behavior becomes part of the case. That makes it interesting but also harder to judge without the missing technical data.
