FBI Photo A2

This record is a still image submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released on May 8, 2026, with an incident date listed as late 2025. The image was derived from an unspecified U.S. government system and shows a monochrome frame with a central crosshair reticle and a dark circular object at the reticle's center, set against a textured background suggestive of terrain or a varied surface. The date and location of the incident were not provided. The operator reported an inability to positively identify the object.

The record is notable for what it lacks: no accompanying mission report was submitted, the original imagery was redacted before submission to AARO, and no location or platform data is included. The absence of contextual metadata makes independent analysis impossible. The circular object centered in a targeting or tracking reticle suggests the imagery originated from an airborne or surveillance platform, but the source system is not identified. The record contributes a raw visual data point to the UAP corpus without analytic conclusions attached.
