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 center right quadrant, close to the center of the frame. An indistinct, possibly natural, landscape is visible in the background. 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 optical/infrared sensor system, timestamped 12/31/99 18:12:16 (noted as incorrect due to unconfigured system clock), submitted by the FBI to AARO in 2025. The image shows a grainy monochrome sensor feed with a crosshair reticle overlaid, with a small dark circular object visible slightly right of center. Numerous metadata fields and telemetry overlays have been redacted with black rectangles. No accompanying mission report was provided.

The system clock was not properly set, rendering the embedded timestamp unreliable and removing a key piece of metadata. Heavy redactions eliminate all telemetry overlays including location, altitude, heading, and platform identification. No mission report accompanies the image. The object is extremely small relative to frame size and could plausibly be sensor noise, a bird, insect, or distant conventional aircraft. Single-sensor, no corroborating data provided.
