The FBI submitted a still image from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025 as a UAP report, with the original imagery redacted before submission and no accompanying mission report provided. The grayscale image shows a crosshair reticle with a horizontal scale from -15 to +15, six black redaction rectangles, and a small dark circular object in the upper right quadrant against an indistinct mountain range. The operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP; the embedded timestamp of 12/31/99 18:11:06 is acknowledged as incorrect due to the system clock not being set.
