Companion FBI infrared frame, December 2025 western U.S. window.

What you’re looking at

A second FBI infrared still from the December 2025 western-U.S. cluster, designated A5. Frame numbering with letter prefixes (A, B) typically indicates separate reels, recorders, or platforms within a single investigation.

Context

Sits inside the same FBI infrared cluster as Photo 1 (December) and Photos B2, B7, B18, B20 (September). The A/B letter split suggests at least two distinct sensors, platforms, or sortie windows.

Why this matters

Multi-sensor or multi-sortie capture, if confirmed, materially upgrades what the cluster represents — coincident frames from different platforms is the kind of corroboration UAP investigators most want and most rarely get.

What it does NOT show

Like all FLIR stills, the frame establishes thermal presence and rough morphology — nothing about composition, propulsion, intent, or range without paired data.

Open questions

1. 01

   Are the A-series and B-series frames from different sensors capturing the same object?

2. 02

   Or are they unrelated incidents grouped only by region and approximate date?

3. 03

   Is there video the still was extracted from?
