was equipped with Night Optical Devices (NODs) and observed the
lights through said optics as well.
relayed that, despite being "dash-
shaped" to the naked eye, the lights appeared "orb-like" or circular through
the NODs, with the characteristic "NOD halo" around them, which is typical
when looking at a light source through NODs.
stated that he is very
familiar with using NODs, as he has been using them for 25+ years and has
many hours of experience.
stated that he has astigmatism and while the
objects appeared "dash-shaped" to him,
stated they appeared
triangular or diamond-shaped, which could possibly be attributed to
astigmatism.
After approximately 20 minutes, both of the aforementioned unidentified
lights disappeared. Shortly thereafter

unidentified light appear directly above their location and was visible for
approximately 10 minutes, before it, too, disappeared.
Sometime between 10:00pm and 11:00pm,
observed another, similar
unidentified light appear approximately 600 meters (estimated) to the east
of their position and appeared to be approximately 500 feet above their
vehicle. The unidentified light appeared to move toward them and stopped
approximately 400 meters away. A second unidentified light appeared and
moved toward, and then stopped in proximity of, the first. The second light
appeared to be approximately 6 feet off the ground.
As
watched the two unidentified lights to the east, he noticed light
in his peripheral vision descend from altitude and stop in a dry wash
approximately 100 meters behind them. Although
could not directly see
the light source, he observed the glow emanating from the wash.
watched the glow move through the wash.
entered their vehicle and drove up to the next
intersection in attempt to get a better view of the unidentified lights to
their east. Upon arrival, the lights were no longer observed.
returned to their original position, but were unable to re-acquire
the unidentified lights.
walked 10-20 meters away from the vehicle to
look around the area;
remained near the vehicle.
At this time,
adjusted the filter on his NODs to look at his watch,
which displayed approximately 1:00am (estimated based on memory) .
watch was a
Men's Automatic Analog Watch.
walked back
to the vehicle to check his phone, which displayed 12:40am.
noted the
discrepancy, compared the time displayed on his watch to the time displayed
on his phone and observed that the time on his watch was 25 minutes ahead of
the time on his phone and the vehicle's digital clock.
relayed the
discrepancy to
whose digital watch displayed the same time as the
phones and vehicle clock.
stated that he had owned that watch for approximately 5 years, and it
had never been off by more than 60-90 seconds.
had last checked the
time on his watch at approximately 10:00pm, and it was accurate at that
time.
stated that his watch was the only mechanical/analog/non-digital
clock in the vicinity at that time and it was the only clock that displayed
a different time.
did not adjust his watch or reset the time for 24
hours to see if it continued to malfunction; the watch continued to keep
accurate time but remained 25 minutes fast.

told agents that he had spent a considerable amount of time at a
facility looking up at the night sky, and was familiar with how
stars/satellites/meteors look to both the naked eye and with NODs.
stated that the lights he observed and described were unlike anything he had
seen before.
stated that the lights he observed on
did not
behave like satellites, as satellites track linear across the sky, whereas
these did not.
stated the unidentified lights moved around and changed
direction, and also appeared to be as low as 6 feet off the ground.
The low-elevation lights described by
would have been backdropped by the mountains and below the relative horizon
line
stated that what
he observed was not a UAS that he familiar with.
noted no exhaust or
tail when these objects moved, and they exhibited no audible sound
signature.
attempted to observed the objects through thermal optics,
but was unsuccessful.
noted no physiological effects from the events.
stated that the
observations did not induce a fear or agitation response - just curiosity.
conversed about this afterward, and given their
backgrounds, found it strange that they did not feel fear or threatened
during their observations.
provided his contact information and was open to further contact from
agents.
