Read Raw Observation for the source result and Working Assessment for the present conclusion. The later Amendment Record preserves how additional windows tested that conclusion without forcing readers to reconstruct the current answer from chronology.

At 25.210s, a compact bright rounded feature appears in the upper-left region of the tracked silhouette, immediately inside the left vertical tracking bar. The submitted hypothesis is that the larger form is a deployment platform for floating scout orbs and that this upper-left feature is an orb at or near a transfer/release interface. The lower layered region remains relevant as possible platform structure, field/sensor morphology, payload, or balloon-like material, but it is not the sphere location being proposed here.

This is a useful frame-level question, but the still cannot establish physical separation by itself. The test therefore asks three narrower questions:

1. Is the rounded bright feature present in the raw source? 2. Does its apparent gap from the upper mass persist in adjacent frames? 3. Does it survive a fixed native Fiji recipe and a small processing sensitivity change?
