Official Description
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. 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. The date in the image is incorrect due to system date/time not being set. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a grainy texture with a central crosshair reticle. A dark object, consistent in appearance with a helicopter, is visible in the upper right quadrant. A second, smaller, dark circular object is visible below the reticle. The background is indistinct. 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.
This document is a single still image frame captured from a U.S. military sensor system, timestamped 12/31/99 18:10:02, submitted by the FBI to AARO in 2025 as part of a UAP report. The image shows a grayscale scene with a central crosshair reticle and two dark objects: one in the upper right quadrant consistent in appearance with a helicopter, and a second smaller circular object below the reticle. The operator was unable to positively identify the UAP, and the stated timestamp is acknowledged as incorrect due to improper system clock settings.

The primary object visible is described as consistent in appearance with a helicopter, suggesting a likely conventional aircraft identification. The embedded timestamp is explicitly confirmed as incorrect, eliminating it as a reliable data point. No mission report was provided, removing critical contextual metadata. The image is grainy and of low resolution, limiting analytical utility. The smaller circular object below the reticle lacks any contextual detail. Multiple redaction blocks obscure potentially important data fields in the image corners and header.
