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, which appears as a single dark irregularly shaped form just above the center of the crosshair reticle.
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 simplified central crosshair with a single dark, irregularly shaped object just above the center of the reticle. 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.
