FBI Photo B018

This is an FBI-submitted report to AARO consisting of a single still image, released May 8, 2026, and associated with a late 2025 incident in the western United States. The image was captured by a U.S. military system and shows a monochrome, grainy frame with a central crosshair and two small, dark, elongated objects visible near the lower left of center. The image was redacted before submission. No accompanying mission report was provided. The operating crew could not positively identify the objects. The timestamp visible in the image reads 12/31/99 18:21:02, an artifact of the system's date/time not being properly configured.

The document is notable primarily for what is absent: no mission report, a redacted image, and no analytical conclusions. The incorrect system timestamp limits any independent corroboration of the incident date. The image quality is poor, and the record as released provides no technical metadata, sensor type, or platform identification. It represents a minimally documented submission within the PURSUE Release 01 set.
