The date and location of the event have not been provided. The original imagery was altered with redactions before being submitted to AARO. An accompanying mission report was not provided. The operator reported that they were unable to positively identify the UAP. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a background with faint, swirling patterns and a central crosshair reticle. A small, dark, irregular object is visible just below and to the right of the center of the reticle. This narrative description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
Key Findings
An FBI-submitted still image derived from a U.S. government sensor system, forwarded to AARO as part of a UAP report. The image is heavily redacted, with no date or location provided, and no accompanying mission report. A small, dark, irregular object is visible near the center crosshair reticle in the monochrome frame.
Analyst Notes
The image is heavily redacted with no date, location, or mission report provided, severely limiting evidential value. The object is small and indistinct, and no sensor metadata or corroborating data accompanies the image. Single-source imagery with no analytical conclusions drawn by the submitting agency. The lack of contextual information makes any determination of the object's nature impossible.
