FBI Photo B019

▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6

FBI Photo B019 is a PDF released May 8, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It contains a single still image captured by a U.S. military system in late 2025 over the western United States. The image was submitted by the FBI to AARO as a UAP report. The operator was unable to positively identify the object. The image shows a monochrome, grainy frame with a central crosshair reticle and a small cluster of dark pixels at the reticle's center. The embedded timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:18:53, which the document notes is incorrect due to the system's date/time not being configured properly.

The record is notable for what it lacks: no accompanying mission report was provided, and the original imagery was redacted before submission to AARO, limiting independent analysis. The erroneous timestamp removes a key piece of metadata for establishing context. The object at the reticle center is uncharacterized. No analytical conclusions about the object's nature, origin, or behavior are drawn in the document.

Redactions present in this record. Black bars protect identities of eyewitnesses, locations of facilities, or non-UAP-related sensitive material.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. The original imagery was altered with redactions before being submitted to AARO. An accompanying mission report was not provided. The operator reported that they were unable to positively identify the UAP. The date in the image is incorrect due to system date/time not being set. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a grainy texture with a central crosshair reticle. A small cluster of dark pixels, forming an object, is visible at the exact center of the reticle. This narrative description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
