The PURSUE catalogue lists FBI photographs B2 through B24 — effectively a numbered photographic series — all carrying the same incident date metadata of "Late 2025" and all geo-tagged to the Western United States. The Department of War's catalogue does not indicate a specific case file these photographs are associated with.

Sequential photographic series of this kind in FBI documentation typically come from one of three sources: a witness's own series of frames captured during an event, a bureau follow-up scene-photography pass at a reported sighting location, or a sensor / surveillance system photo log. The PURSUE listing does not specify which.

Western United States as a geographic tag covers a wide footprint — everything west of the Mississippi in informal usage, more narrowly the eleven westernmost contiguous states in formal usage. Without further metadata in the catalogue, the photographs themselves are the source of any geographic specificity.

The volume is notable. 23 distinct frames in a single series, all tagged to a single incident timeframe, suggests that whatever event generated the photographs was either lengthy enough to capture across many shots, or captured with high frame frequency, or composited from multiple cameras / witnesses at the scene. Photographic sequences of that scale are not common in publicly released UAP files.
