Summary
The FBI submitted this UAP report to AARO as a single still image taken from a U.S. military system in 2025 in the Western United States. The imagery was redacted before submission and came without a mission report, the operator could not positively identify the object, and the date shown in the image is incorrect because the system clock was unset. In this monochrome image no distinct object is clearly visible in the central area, and the background shows an indistinct formation, possibly a mountain range.
