Summary
A series of twenty-four still images (FBI PHOTO B001-B024) submitted by the FBI to AARO and released via PURSUE Release 1 on May 8, 2026. Unlike Series A, these images are derived from a U.S. military system and were taken in 2025. The system date/time was not synchronized, causing the embedded image dates to be incorrect. The original imagery was redacted before AARO submission. No accompanying mission reports were provided. In each case, the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. This is the largest single visual dataset in the PURSUE Release 1 package.
Significance
FBI Photo Series B is the largest collection of UAP images in PURSUE Release 1 — 24 images from a U.S. military sensor system in 2025. The AARO assessment's specific note about the date/time synchronization error provides useful metadata: the images were recently captured (2025) but with a system whose clock was not calibrated. The 24-image scale suggests either a sustained surveillance operation or multiple separate encounters cataloged under the same series.
