FBI Photo A004

This record is a still image submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released May 8, 2026 under the PURSUE program. The incident date is noted as late 2025; no specific location is provided. The monochrome image, captured from an unspecified U.S. government system, shows a mottled background with a central crosshair reticle and a dark, circular object positioned slightly below and to the right of center. The original imagery was redacted prior to submission. No accompanying mission report was provided, and the reporting operator stated they could not positively identify the object.

The record is notably sparse: date, location, platform type, and operational context are all absent or withheld, limiting independent analysis. The redaction of the source imagery and the absence of a mission report mean there is no chain-of-custody context for the object's size, altitude, speed, or behavior. The circular object's appearance is consistent with other unresolved UAP imagery in the government record, but no analytical or investigative conclusions have been drawn by AARO or the FBI.
