Photo B1 FBI Submission
Department of War PURSUE Release 01 identifies FBI Photo B1 as an FBI PDF record released on May 8, 2026. The release description says the Federal Bureau of Investigation submitted a UAP report to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. The imagery was redacted before submission, no accompanying mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP.1
What Photo B1 Shows
The PDF contains a single monochrome frame with a central crosshair reticle, range-style tick marks, black redaction blocks, and a grainy background. A small dark circular mark appears in the upper-right quadrant near the center of the frame, while the lower background resembles an indistinct mountain range or cloud formation. A timestamp is visible in the image, but the release metadata says the date shown is incorrect because the system date and time were not set.12
What the Still Cannot Prove
The record supports only a narrow reading: an FBI-originated UAP report preserved one redacted still image from a military system and documented that the operator could not identify the object. It does not establish the object's size, distance, speed, altitude, sensor platform, chain of custody, or the circumstances of collection. Those limits matter because the page documents reporting and disclosure, not enough evidence by itself to resolve what the visible object was.12
