FBI Photo B023
Official description
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. The original imagery was altered with redactions before being submitted to AARO. An accompanying mission report was not provided. The operator reported that they were unable to positively identify the UAP. The date in the image is incorrect due to system date/time not being set. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a grainy texture with a simplified central crosshair. A single dark, elongated object is visible near the edge of the reticle to the right of center. This narrative description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
✦ AI summary
This is a single-page image-only PDF (no embedded OCR text layer), part of a sequential FBI photographic/photo-analysis exhibit set (b1 through b24) released in DOW/FBI UAP release_1. The rendered page follows a consistent template seen across this series: a black redaction bar across the top, film-grain grayscale background, several horizontal black redaction bars (each followed by a lighter partially-revealed strip), and a small measurement/reference scale or tick mark with a numeric label, consistent with a photogrammetric analysis or evidence-log worksheet accompanying a UAP photograph. No caption, agency letterhead, narrative text, date, or case identifier is present or extractable from this page. Given the heavy redaction and absence of readable text, the specific subject, location, or case this exhibit page relates to cannot be determined from the file alone; it appears to be a working photo-analysis/exhibit page (frame 23 of the b-series) rather than a narrative report.
