FBI Photo B2
FBI submission to AARO consisting of a single redacted monochrome still image from a U.S. military system, showing a small dark circular object near a crosshair reticle.
The FBI submitted a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025 to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), with the original imagery altered with redactions before submission. No accompanying mission report was provided, and the operator reported they could not positively identify the object. The frame carries a system timestamp of 12/31/99 18:11:27, which the submission attributes to the system date/time not being set. The narrative description records a grainy monochrome image with a central crosshair reticle, a small dark circular object in the upper right quadrant, and an indistinct mountain range or cloud formation in the background.
