Image-only document: no source text is available.

A grayscale image appearing to be from a surveillance or targeting camera system, possibly infrared or night-vision footage. The image contains a crosshair/reticle overlay centered on the frame, with multiple black redaction bars covering text or data fields around the edges. A timestamp is visible in the lower left corner. Near the center-right of the crosshair, there are two small dark objects visible against the gray background.

The FBI submitted a still image from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025, reportedly taken in the Western United States. The grayscale image shows a targeting crosshair with two small dark elongated objects in the lower-right quadrant; approximately eight black redaction bars cover margin data fields. The operator reported being unable to positively identify the objects, 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.
