What you’re looking at

Infrared still designated B20, also captioned as containing multiple unidentified objects. Closes the September 2025 sub-cluster of B-series frames.

Context

Sequencing — B2, B7, B18, B20 — implies dropped frames between releases (B3–B6, B8–B17, B19) that have not been published. This is normal in selective release: investigators publish the frames most useful for public communication, not the full reel.

Why this matters

The implication of un-released companion frames is itself worth noting in any breakdown. The full B-series reel — if it exists and is intact — is a future FOIA target.

What it does NOT show

What was on the un-published frames. Whether the multi-object framing of B18 and B20 is sustained across the omitted intervening frames or appears only on these two.

Open questions

  1. How many B-series frames exist in total?

  2. Are the gaps in publication editorial, technical, or classification-driven?

  3. What is the duration covered by the B-series capture?

Evidence rating

Same multi-object significance as B18, but as a closer of the sub-cluster rather than the introducer; treated as corroborating frame.
