The FBI submitted a still image from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025, showing a grayscale frame with a crosshair reticle and a small dark circular object slightly right of center. The background shows an indistinct mountain range or cloud formation, and multiple black redaction rectangles obscure labels at the frame edges. The operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP; no mission report was provided, and the embedded timestamp of 12/31/99 is noted as incorrect due to the system clock not being set.
