FBI Photo B019

FBI Photo B019 is a PDF released May 8, 2026, under the PURSUE Release 01 program. It contains a single still image captured by a U.S. military system in late 2025 over the western United States. The image was submitted by the FBI to AARO as a UAP report. The operator was unable to positively identify the object. The image shows a monochrome, grainy frame with a central crosshair reticle and a small cluster of dark pixels at the reticle's center. The embedded timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:18:53, which the document notes is incorrect due to the system's date/time not being configured properly.

The record is notable for what it lacks: no accompanying mission report was provided, and the original imagery was redacted before submission to AARO, limiting independent analysis. The erroneous timestamp removes a key piece of metadata for establishing context. The object at the reticle center is uncharacterized. No analytical conclusions about the object's nature, origin, or behavior are drawn in the document.
