FBI Photo B9
FBI-submitted still image of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon, derived from a U.S. military system in 2025 and forwarded to AARO with redactions and no accompanying mission report.
The FBI submitted a single still image to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) showing a small, dark, circular object below and left of a central crosshair reticle, set against an indistinct mountain range. The imagery was derived from a U.S. military system in 2025 and was altered with redactions before submission. No mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the object. The timestamp burned into the image reads 12/31/99 18:10:26, which the FBI attributes to a system date/time that was not set.
