FBI Photo B7
FBI submission to AARO of a single redacted still image from a U.S. military system showing a helicopter-like object and a smaller dark circular object near a crosshair reticle, with no mission report and an incorrect system timestamp.
The FBI forwarded one still image, derived from a U.S. military system in 2025, to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The original imagery was altered with redactions before submission, and no accompanying mission report was provided. AARO's narrative description notes a central crosshair reticle, a dark object in the upper right quadrant consistent with a helicopter, and a second smaller dark circular object below the reticle. The operator could not positively identify the UAP, and the embedded timestamp of 12/31/99 18:10:02 reflects an unset system clock rather than the actual capture date.
