Summary
The FBI forwarded to AARO a 2025 still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon from a U.S. military system, redacted before submission and without a mission report. The operator could not identify the object, which appears as a small cluster of dark pixels at the exact center of the crosshair reticle.
Detail
This entry originates from the FBI, which submitted a still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to AARO in 2025. The image came from a U.S. military system and was redacted prior to submission, with no mission report included. The operator stated they could not positively identify the object, and the image timestamp is incorrect because the system date and time were not set.
The monochrome, grainy image features a central crosshair reticle with a small cluster of dark pixels forming an object at the exact center of the reticle. The description is informational only and does not represent any judgment or conclusion. The record was released through the PURSUE declassification and is associated with the Western United States in late 2025.
