2025 FBI Unresolved UAP Report Still Image

According to the releasing source (U.S. Department of War / AARO), the Federal Bureau of Investigation submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon consisting of a single still image derived from a U.S. government system. The date and location of the event were not provided, and no accompanying mission report was submitted; the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. The original imagery was altered with redactions before submission to AARO. The publisher's narrative description states the monochrome image displays a uniform, grainy texture with a central crosshair targeting reticle and a small, dark, slightly irregular object just below and to the right of center. The publisher emphasizes this narrative is informational only and should not be read as an analytical judgment or factual determination about the event's nature or validity. The file is part of a DoD/AARO UAP data release (release_1, dataset release=3), paired with a USPER statement and narrative. Redaction is flagged TRUE.
