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 without a mission report. The operator could not identify the object, with one or two small dark shapes visible just above and to the right of the crosshair reticle's center.
Detail
This record is from the FBI, which forwarded 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 mission report attached. The operator could not positively identify the object, and the timestamp is inaccurate due to the system date and time not being set.
The monochrome, grainy image shows a central crosshair reticle with one to two small dark objects just above and to the right of center. The narrative is informational only and conveys no analytical or investigative conclusion. The document was released through the PURSUE declassification and is associated with the Western United States in late 2025.
