FBI Photo B22
FBI-submitted still image from a 2025 U.S. military system showing two small dark elongated objects near a central crosshair, redacted before transmittal to AARO with no mission report.
The FBI forwarded to AARO a single redacted monochrome still derived from a U.S. military system in late 2025 in the Western United States. The image shows a simplified central crosshair with two small, dark, elongated objects in the upper right quadrant. The operator reported being unable to positively identify the object, no mission report accompanied the submission, and the timestamp visible on the frame (12/31/99 18:19:19) is incorrect because the system date/time was not set. AARO received the imagery in altered form, with redactions already applied.
