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, which is seen as a small dark circular shape in the upper right quadrant of the frame over an indistinct mountain range.
Detail
This record is from the FBI, which provided a still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to AARO in 2025. The imagery was derived from a U.S. military system and redacted before submission, with no mission report attached. The operator could not positively identify the object, and the timestamp is inaccurate because the system date and time were not configured.
The monochrome, grainy frame shows a central crosshair reticle with a small dark circular object in the upper right quadrant, against an indistinct mountain range. 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.
