FBI Photo A7

This is a declassified, black-and-white photograph featuring a small, illuminated circular object approximately centered in the frame. A crosshair reticle with tick marks and a numerical indicator '5' is overlaid, suggesting a measurement or targeting context. Several broad, black rectangular redactions obscure portions of the image, primarily along the top and left and right edges. The photographic quality is grainy with some atmospheric haze visible, and the imagery appears to be from an older era. 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. government system. The date and location of the event have not been provided. 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. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a smooth, grainy background with a central crosshair reticle. A light-colored, circular object with a bright specular highlight is visible just below the center of the reticle. This narrative description is provided for informational purposes only.
