AARO

Official Conclusion

Unable to positively identify

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 simplified central crosshair. Two small, dark, elongated objects are visible near the center of the frame in the upper 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.

Key Findings

→Two small, dark, elongated objects are visible in the upper-right quadrant of the crosshair frame, captured by a U.S. military imaging system.
→The timestamp displayed (12/31/99 18:19:19) is acknowledged to be incorrect due to the system clock not being properly set, placing actual date context as late 2025.
→The operator reported being unable to positively identify the objects observed.
→All metadata fields surrounding the image (unit, location, altitude, sensor parameters) are fully redacted, severely limiting analytical context.
→No accompanying mission report was provided with the submission to AARO.

UAP Insight Analysis— AI generated, not official

This document is a single still image frame, described as 'FBI Photo B22,' derived from a U.S. military sensor system and submitted by the FBI to AARO. The image, timestamped 12/31/99 18:19:19 (noted as an incorrect system date), shows two small dark elongated objects near the center of a grainy monochrome frame with a crosshair overlay. All contextual data fields in the image are heavily redacted.

Analyst Notes

The document consists of a single heavily redacted still image with no accompanying mission report, no verified metadata, and an incorrect system timestamp — all of which severely limit evidential value. The objects are small and indistinct at the image resolution. Single-sensor evidence only with no corroborating radar, visual, or testimony. The absence of a mission report and full redaction of all contextual data fields means no altitude, speed, heading, or platform information is available for analysis.
