Several Agents Reported Sightings Over Two Days
In the western United States, several agents saw things they couldn’t identify. But the report doesn’t say what they looked like.
In brief
Several U.S. law enforcement agents reported seeing phenomena they couldn’t identify over two days in October 2023. The record includes an account from one of them, but doesn’t say what the phenomena looked like.
Summary
A 2 June 2026 AARO Memorandum for Record presenting the verbatim first-hand narrative of Witness 3, one of several U.S. federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over two days in mid-October 2023 in the western United States. The witness describes a large color-cycling orange orb that expelled three smaller red orbs, and on a later night four red lights hovering over an airfield, additional orange orbs near a ridgeline, and a vehicle that appeared to evade pursuit by floating off-road across rough terrain. The document is signed by Jon T. Kosloski, Director, AARO.
Incidents in the document
- mid-October 2023, approximately 1900 (dusk) · Western United States · Page 1
While conducting work-related activities and traveling with one other agent, the witness, looking east at roughly dusk under a clear sky, saw a large orange orb seemingly approaching. The orb alternated between clear and orange in roughly two-to-three-second cycles, with a visible outline even when clear, and moved about 20 degrees of sky in three to five seconds. At about 45 degrees elevation it expelled three smaller red orbs in what appeared to be a mechanical manner; the red orbs moved south in a straight line spaced about one second apart until out of sight. No sound and no exhaust trails were noted. The whole event lasted about 30-45 seconds.
