FBI September 2023 Sighting - Serial 004
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
This is an FBI FD-302 interview report, dated October 2023 with an incident date of September 1, 2023, documenting a first-hand UAP sighting at a U.S. military test site. The interviewing agents and witness names are redacted throughout. The witness, a U.S. person with approximately fifteen years of experience at the facility, observed a cigar-shaped, metallic bronze object while driving a convoy of contractors to a test area. The object was estimated at 500–3,000 feet above the tree line, roughly two to three Blackhawk helicopters in length, bore an intensely bright diamond-white light on its eastern end, moved slowly east to west, was completely silent, and disappeared within five to ten seconds. A gate malfunction preceded the sighting. At least one other convoy member independently reported seeing the object.
The report is notable because the witness held a position of authority over the restricted airspace that morning, had extensive familiarity with U.S. military aircraft and drones, and explicitly ruled out conventional explanations. No photographs or video were captured. Heavy redaction obscures the specific facility, all personnel names, and exact dates. The gate anomaly and the witness's statement that the object "left when it saw them" are recorded without editorial comment. The document fits a pattern of FBI-collected witness statements from personnel with professional aerospace familiarity, contributing to the institutional record of UAP reports at sensitive U.S. installations.

approximately 500 to 3000 feet above the nearest tree line (agent note: the
tree line was approximately one mile south west of
position). The
object was already there when she looked up. The object was almost hovering,
slowly moving from east to west. The light was an intense diamond white
light with what appeared to be a ring around the light and was located on
the eastern end of the object. The light was pointing south east and looking
at it (the light) was like looking into the sun. The object was "metallic
bronze in color" and was the length of two or three Blackhawk helicopters
lined up nose to tail. The width of the object was approximately the width
of one and a half Blackhawks but was hard to determine due the light on the
object's eastern end which may have been obscuring part of the body. The
object was completely silent.
