Summary
The FBI submitted to AARO a 2025 still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon from a U.S. military system, redacted before delivery and with no mission report. The operator could not identify the object, seen as a small dark circular shape in the upper right area near a crosshair reticle, over an indistinct mountain backdrop.
Detail
This record is from the FBI, which submitted a still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to AARO in 2025. The imagery originated from a U.S. military system and was redacted before submission, with no accompanying mission report. The operator could not positively identify the object, and the timestamp in the image is inaccurate due to the system's date and time not being set.
The monochrome, grainy image shows a central crosshair reticle with a small dark circular object in the upper right quadrant relative to center, against an indistinct mountain range. The description is provided for information only and reflects no analytical or investigative determination. The document was released through the PURSUE declassification and is linked to the Western United States in late 2025.
