FBI Photo B14
An FBI-submitted still image from a 2025 U.S. military system, redacted before delivery to AARO, showing two small dark circular objects near a crosshair with no accompanying mission report.
The FBI submitted a single redacted still image to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), derived from a U.S. military system in 2025 somewhere in the western United States. The image is monochrome and grainy, with a central crosshair and two small dark circular objects near the center; a digital artifact appears along the edge of a redaction box in the lower-right quadrant. The operator reported being unable to positively identify the object, and no mission report was attached. The visible timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:20:08, which the FBI notes is incorrect because the system date and time were not set.
