FBI Photo A005

This is an FBI-submitted UAP report forwarded to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released May 8, 2026 under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident date is listed as late 2025. The record consists of a single still image captured from an unspecified U.S. government system. No location data was provided. The image is monochrome, shows a dense speckled background with a central crosshair reticle, and depicts a dark circular object positioned in the lower-right quadrant of the frame. The operator could not positively identify the object. The original imagery was redacted prior to submission.

Key limitations significantly constrain any analysis of this record. No accompanying mission report was provided, and both the date and location of the incident were withheld. The nature of the imaging system is unspecified, making it impossible to assess sensor type, altitude, or operating context. The redactions applied before submission to AARO suggest additional details exist but remain classified. Without metadata or a mission report, the record's evidentiary value is limited.
