Summary
The FBI provided AARO with a 2025 still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon from a U.S. military system, redacted before submission and lacking 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 entry comes from the FBI, which submitted a still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to AARO in 2025. The image was derived from a U.S. military system and redacted prior to submission, with no mission report provided. The operator reported being unable to 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 one to two small dark objects just above and to the right of center. The description is informational only and implies no judgment or conclusion. The record was released through the PURSUE declassification and is associated with the Western United States in late 2025.
