FBI Photo B16: Sensor Image with Crosshair Overlay and Redacted Data Fields
Image-only document: no source text is available.
The FBI submitted a still image from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025, depicting a UAP over the Western United States. The grayscale sensor image shows two dark, irregular-shaped objects just right of center in the upper right quadrant, overlaid with a centered crosshair labeled "3" on both horizontal arms. Multiple black redaction bars obscure data fields around the frame edges, no mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. The displayed timestamp of 12/31/99 18:20:41 is acknowledged as incorrect due to the system clock not being set.

A grayscale surveillance or sensor camera image with a crosshair/reticle overlay centered on the frame. Multiple black redaction bars obscure text and data fields around the edges and corners of the image. A small dark object or objects appear near the center of the crosshair. The image has a grainy, low-resolution appearance consistent with infrared or night-vision imaging.
