FBI Photo B003

This is a single-page FBI document released May 8, 2026, reporting a UAP incident from late 2025 over the western United States. The document consists of a still image captured by a U.S. military system, submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). The image is monochrome and grainy, showing a small dark circular object positioned just right of a central crosshair reticle, with an indistinct mountain range or cloud formation in the background. The operator was unable to positively identify the object. No accompanying mission report was provided.

The image was redacted prior to AARO submission, and the embedded timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:11:34, which is acknowledged as incorrect due to the source system's date/time not being configured properly, making precise incident timing unverifiable. The absence of a mission report limits contextual analysis. The redactions obscure unknown portions of the original imagery. The record contributes a military-sourced visual data point to the UAP archive but lacks sufficient accompanying documentation to support independent characterization of the observed object.
