Image-only document: no source text is available.

A grainy, low-resolution surveillance or security camera still image with a crosshair/reticle overlay centered on the frame. Multiple black redaction bars are visible across the image obscuring text or identifying information. A timestamp is visible in the lower-left corner. Two small dark objects appear near the center of the crosshair. The lower-right quadrant shows scattered black pixel noise or distortion artifacts.

The FBI submitted a still image from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025, depicting two small dark circular objects near the center of a crosshair reticle overlay. The grainy monochrome image carries a timestamp of 12/31/99 18:20:08, which the manifest states is incorrect because the system date was not set. The original imagery was redacted by the FBI before submission, no mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. The incident location is given as the Western United States.
