FBI Photo B7 is a PDF record released May 8, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It documents a late-2025 UAP incident over the western United States. The FBI submitted a still image, derived from a U.S. military system, to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The monochrome image shows a crosshair reticle, a dark object in the upper right quadrant described as consistent in appearance with a helicopter, and a second smaller circular dark object below the reticle. The operating crew reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. No accompanying mission report was provided.
Several factors limit the record's analytical value. The original imagery was redacted before submission to AARO, the on-screen timestamp reads 12/31/99 due to an unconfigured system clock, and no mission report accompanies the image. The presence of two distinct objects — one helicopter-like, one unidentified — is the core unresolved element. The absence of metadata, mission context, and an unredacted original makes independent assessment of the image impossible.
