FBI Photo B21
Single redacted monochrome still image with a crosshair reticle, submitted by the FBI to AARO showing one to two small dark objects an operator could not identify.
The FBI forwarded to AARO a still frame derived from a U.S. military system, captured in 2025 in the western United States, with the original imagery altered by redactions before submission. The page carries a centered crosshair reticle with tick marks at 5, 10, and 15, and a system timestamp of 12/31/99 18:19:06 that the submitting agency flagged as incorrect because the system date/time was not set. One to two small, dark objects sit just above and to the right of center. No mission report accompanied the image, and the operator reported they could not positively identify the object.
