FBI Photo A4

FBI Photo A4 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 image is monochrome and appears to have been captured by a U.S. government system. It shows a mottled background with a central crosshair reticle and a dark, circular object positioned slightly below and to the right of center. The operator was unable to positively identify the object. The original imagery was redacted prior to submission, and no accompanying mission report was provided.

The record is notable for what is absent: location, platform type, sensor details, and mission context are all either redacted or simply not submitted. Without an accompanying report, there is no metadata to anchor the image analytically. The circular object's nature cannot be assessed from the image description alone. The record adds to a pattern of FBI-sourced UAP submissions to AARO that arrive with minimal contextual documentation.
