This is an FBI-submitted UAP report filed with the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released May 8, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident occurred in late 2025 over the western United States. The document consists of a single still image captured by a U.S. military system, showing a monochrome, grainy frame with a central crosshair and two small, dark, elongated objects in the lower left quadrant of the frame. The operator could not positively identify the objects. The timestamp visible in the image reads 12/31/99 18:21:02, which the record notes reflects an unconfigured system clock rather than the actual date.
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 incorrect timestamp complicates any effort to correlate the image with other records. The two unidentified elongated objects remain unexplained, and no analytical conclusions are drawn in the document itself.
Redactions present in this record. Black bars protect identities of eyewitnesses, locations of facilities, or non-UAP-related sensitive material.
