FBI Photo B10
FBI submitted a redacted still image from a U.S. military system showing an unidentified dark circular object near a reticle crosshair against a mountain backdrop.
The FBI forwarded to AARO a single monochrome still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025, with redactions applied before submission and no accompanying mission report. The image shows a small dark circular object in the upper-right quadrant of a central crosshair reticle, set against an indistinct mountain range. The operator could not positively identify the object. The visible timestamp of 12/31/99 18:10:50 is incorrect because the system date/time was not set.
