2025 FBI Unresolved UAP Report Still Image 3

According to the releasing source (U.S. Department of War) and AARO's accompanying description, the FBI submitted a UAP report consisting of a single still image derived from a U.S. government system. The date and location of the event were not provided by the operator; AARO lists the incident as occurring in Late 2025. The imagery was altered with redactions before submission and no mission report accompanied it. The operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. The agency's narrative describes a monochrome image with a mottled, textured background and a dark circular object at the center of a crosshair reticle, with an explicit disclaimer that the description reflects no analytical judgment or investigative conclusion about the event's validity or nature.
