FBI Photo B8 is a one-page PDF released on May 8, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It contains a single still image submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), captured by a U.S. military sensor system in late 2025 over the western United States. The image is monochrome and shows a grainy scene with a central crosshair reticle; a small, dark, circular object appears just right of center in the upper-right quadrant, with an indistinct mountain range in the background. The operating sensor crew reported they could not positively identify the object. The embedded timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:10:18, which the record notes is incorrect due to the system clock not being properly set.
The document is notable for several gaps: the original imagery was redacted before submission to AARO, no accompanying mission report was provided, and the erroneous timestamp removes a key piece of contextual metadata. Without the mission report, sensor type, altitude, and object size cannot be determined. The record represents a chain-of-custody concern, as alterations were made prior to formal submission to the resolving authority.
