Official Conclusion
Unable to positively identify the UAP
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 small, dark, circular object is visible in the upper right quadrant of the frame. The background shows an indistinct mountain range.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
A single still infrared/sensor image submitted by the FBI to AARO depicting a small dark circular object in the upper right quadrant of the frame, captured by an unspecified U.S. military system. The image contains heavy redactions obscuring sensor metadata and operator/unit identification, and the embedded timestamp (12/31/99 18:11:12) is acknowledged as incorrect due to system clock misconfiguration. No accompanying mission report was provided.
Analyst Notes
Single sensor image with no accompanying mission report, severely limiting analytical value. All identifying metadata including sensor type, operator, unit, and location data are redacted. The embedded timestamp is acknowledged as erroneous, meaning the capture time cannot be independently verified. The object is extremely small relative to the frame and could represent a sensor artifact, dust, or debris on optics. No corroborating sensor data or witness testimony was provided.
