We announce a recently detected outburst that is currently only a few months old, and probably of FU Orionis type. The progenitor to the outburst was an emission-line, flat-spectrum SED young stellar object located in the W5 region, though somewhat outside the main star formation action. We present optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared lightcurves that illustrate the quiescent state of [KAG2008] 13656 and its subsequent$Δr \approx -4$ mag and $ΔJ\approx -3$ mag outburst over $\sim$75 days in late-2025. Follow-up optical and near-infrared spectroscopy confirms the expected features from an FU Ori disk and outflow.
