FBI September 2023 Sighting - Serial 005
▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6
This is an FBI FD-302 interview record dated October 2023, documenting a September 2023 interview conducted via FaceTime with a U.S. citizen who witnessed an unidentified aerial object at a U.S. test site. The witness, a contractor with drone pilot experience, was part of a group of five conducting LiDAR tests. Around 7:30 a.m. on a clear day, he observed a metallic gray, wingless, exhaustless object bearing a super-bright white light on its eastern side. The object was estimated at 5,000 feet AGL, one to two Blackhawk helicopters in length, and traveled east to west for five to ten seconds before the light extinguished and the object disappeared. A second witness in another vehicle apparently did not see it.
The record is notable for the level of observational detail provided by a witness with aviation and drone familiarity, lending some technical credibility to the size and altitude estimates. All names, specific dates, and the test site location are redacted. The post-incident psychological effects noted — disrupted sleep, unusual dreams — are consistent with other witness accounts in UAP reporting. The document fits within a broader pattern of FBI-collected firsthand UAP reports from individuals working at or near restricted U.S. government facilities.

The three vehicles began driving south around 7:30 am. The sun was
in the east with good visibility.
The three vehicles came to a gate that was giving
trouble.
At about three quarters of the windshield up,
saw a linear object
with a super bright light on the east side of the object. The light was
bright white and bright enough to see bands within the light. The object was
metallic / gray in color. It did not have any wings or exhaust. The object
was smaller than a 737, one to two Blackhawk helicopters in length and was
definitely bigger than a drone. The object was approximately 5000 feet above
ground level, and moved east to west parallel to the ground. The object was
visible for five to ten seconds and then the light went out and the object
vanished. The sky was clear and
couldn't find the object again.
