FBI Photo B007

Description from war.gov

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. The original imagery was altered with redactions before being submitted to AARO. An accompanying mission report was not provided. The operator reported that they were unable to positively identify the UAP. The date in the image is incorrect due to system date/time not being set. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a grainy texture with a central crosshair reticle. A dark object, consistent in appearance with a helicopter, is visible in the upper right quadrant. A second, smaller, dark circular object is visible below the reticle. The background is indistinct.

FBI Photo B007 is a still image submitted by the FBI to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released May 8, 2026 under the PURSUE Release 01 program. The incident is dated late 2025 and located in the western United States. The monochrome image, captured by a U.S. military system, shows a central crosshair reticle with a dark object in the upper right quadrant described as consistent with a helicopter, and a second smaller dark circular object below the reticle. The operator was unable to positively identify either object. The image was redacted before submission, and no accompanying mission report was provided.

The embedded timestamp reads 12/31/99, which the record attributes to the system clock not being properly set, making the precise capture time unverifiable. The absence of a mission report limits contextual analysis. The redactions obscure unknown portions of the original imagery. The ambiguity between the helicopter-like object and the separate unidentified circular object is the central unresolved element of the record.
