Indistinct mountain range (visible at bottom of sensor frame)

The FBI submitted a still image derived from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025, depicting a UAP over the Western United States. The grayscale sensor frame shows a centered crosshair reticle with scale markings, a small dark circular object just to the top right of the reticle center, and a faint mountain range at the bottom. The imagery was redacted before submission, no mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. The burned-in timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:10:50 but is acknowledged as incorrect due to the system clock not being set.
