This is a one-page FBI report, dated to late 2025, submitted to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) concerning a UAP observed in the western United States. The document consists of a single still image captured by an unspecified U.S. military system. The image is monochrome and shows a small, dark, circular object near the center-right of the frame, with a crosshair reticle overlay and an indistinct landscape background. The operator was unable to positively identify the object. The embedded timestamp reads 12/31/99, which the report attributes to the system clock not being properly configured.
The document is notable for what it omits: the image was redacted before submission to AARO, and no accompanying mission report was provided, leaving context about the platform, operator, and circumstances largely unknown. The incorrect system date complicates any timeline reconstruction. The submission represents a military-origin image routed through the FBI to AARO, illustrating inter-agency UAP reporting channels while offering minimal resolvable detail about the observed object.
