WHAT THE RECORD SAYS

The reporter did not provide any oral or written description of the observation.
Video Description: 00:03-00:05: A faint area of contrast enters the sensor field-of-view from the bottom half of the right edge of the screen, proceeds from right to left across the corner of the frame, and exits the scene from near the center of the bottom edge of the screen.
