FBI Photo A1

This record is a still image submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), dated to late 2025. The image was captured by an unspecified U.S. government system. No location, mission report, or accompanying documentation was provided. The monochrome frame shows a grainy field with a central crosshair reticle and a small, dark, irregularly shaped object offset slightly below and to the right of center. The operator was unable to positively identify the object. Redactions were applied to the original imagery prior to submission.

The record is notable for what it lacks: no mission context, no location data, no accompanying report, and an already-redacted source image. The FBI's role as submitting agency is itself unusual, as UAP reports more commonly originate from military or intelligence sources. The absence of analytical or investigative conclusions means the object remains formally unidentified. The sparse documentation limits any comparative analysis against other UAP reports in the PURSUE release or the broader AARO case inventory.
