FBI Photo B1
FBI-submitted still image from a U.S. military system showing an unidentified dark circular object near a crosshair reticle, forwarded to AARO with redactions and no mission report.
The FBI submitted a single still image to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. The original imagery was altered with redactions before submission, and no accompanying mission report was provided. The operator reported they could not positively identify the object, described as a small dark circular shape in the upper right quadrant near a central crosshair reticle against an indistinct mountain or cloud background. The visible timestamp of 12/31/99 18:11:19 is incorrect because the system date/time was not set.
