Detail
This entry originates 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 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 simplified central crosshair with a single dark elongated object near the edge of the reticle, to the right of center. 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.
