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, structured object with an appendage on its left side is visible just at the top of the reticle. A second, smaller, dark circular object is visible below the reticle in the bottom right quadrant. 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 from a U.S. military sensor system, submitted by the FBI to AARO in 2025 as part of a UAP report. The image, timestamped 12/31/99 18:10:00 (noted as an incorrect date due to unconfigured system clock), shows a monochrome sensor view with a crosshair reticle, a dark structured object with an appendage near the top of the reticle, and a smaller dark circular object in the lower right quadrant. Extensive redactions obscure contextual data fields around the image border. No accompanying mission report was provided.
Key Findings
Analyst Notes
Single still image with no accompanying mission report, significantly limiting analytical value. The embedded timestamp is explicitly noted as incorrect, removing reliable temporal context. Redactions obscure all contextual data fields around the image border. No sensor metadata, altitude, location, or operator narrative is available. The structured object near the reticle is consistent in silhouette with a small rotary-wing aircraft (helicopter), which cannot be ruled out. Single-frame evidence with no multi-sensor corroboration.
