FBI Photo A008 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 listed as late 2025; no specific location is provided. The monochrome image shows a background with faint swirling patterns and a central crosshair reticle, with a small, dark, irregular object visible just below and to the right of the reticle's center. The image originates from an unspecified U.S. government system. The operator was unable to positively identify the object.
The record is notably thin on context: the date and location are withheld, the original imagery was redacted prior to AARO submission, and no accompanying mission report was provided. The submitting platform, sensor type, and operational circumstances are all unknown. Without that supporting documentation, independent analysis of the object's size, distance, or behavior is not possible. The record establishes that the FBI is among the agencies actively reporting UAP imagery to AARO, but this submission offers limited standalone investigative value.
Redactions present in this record. Black bars protect identities of eyewitnesses, locations of facilities, or non-UAP-related sensitive material.
