FBI-Submitted PURSUE Image
FBI Photo A6 is a PURSUE Release 01 image record published by the Department of War on May 8, 2026. The release describes it as an FBI-submitted UAP report sent to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. government system.1
The record lists the incident date as late 2025 but does not provide a specific date or location. It also says the original imagery was altered with redactions before submission, no accompanying mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP.1
Photo A6 Reticle Still
The released image is monochrome and heavily redacted. It shows a lightly textured field with a central crosshair reticle, small tick marks, and multiple black or gray redaction blocks around the frame. A small dark circular object appears near the center of the reticle.2
The visual record supports only cautious description. It can show that an object or mark was present in the released frame, and that the frame came from a government system according to the release metadata. It cannot establish the object's identity, distance, scale, speed, altitude, platform, original sensor context, or why the operator could not identify it.
What Photo A6 Cannot Show
This page matters because it preserves a modern FBI-linked UAP image record with the limits that make the record difficult to evaluate. The release provides a visible frame and an agency account of non-identification, but it withholds enough operational context that the image should be treated as a documented report, not as proof of an anomalous origin.
