Federal Agents Reported Unidentified Sightings in the West Over Two Days

Around 1918 the agents saw a large red orb at further distance facing north and slightly west. Witness 5 reports two smaller red orbs releasing from the larger one going west, released simultaneously and moving away; one moved horizontally at steady speed, the other (fainter) went up at a slight angle. The large orb did not move and all lights were gone in about 10 seconds. A white flash of light then appeared in the sky to the west.

Large red orb releasing two smaller red orbs; followed by a white flash of light

At 1937 the large orb was seen again, to the left/front, lasting about 10 seconds. A similar white flash of light appeared in the sky more to the southwest. The agents set up a camera approximately 3 miles from the parked vehicle in hopes of capturing anything that returned.

Around 0430, driving near a lake, Witness 5 noticed two lights about 2-3 ft above the ground, on the far side of the road over the pavement: one white and square, one round and red (red diagonally up-left of the white). As the vehicle slowed (~100 ft away) and an oncoming vehicle approached, the light pair drifted off the road into the sand and hovered with zero resistance, then moved at about 15-20 mph. Through NVGs the pair appeared briefly, then the lights turned off leaving a very thin horizontal line about 4 ft wide that moved at the same speed and rose in height while staying flat.

The object

Pair of lights (white square + round red) ~2-3 ft above ground that hovered and moved at 15-20 mph; under NVG resolved to a thin ~4 ft horizontal line

Outcome

Location and activity reported; site revisited and searched the same morning

Around 0530, while searching with NVGs and thermal binoculars, an agent said 'I see it!' and noted a cobweb-like object floating upward against natural flow. Witness 5 then saw a faint, not perfectly outlined formation of lights moving together, ascending and moving slightly side to side as if evading notice or blending into the stars, more than 20 ft in the air. After looking at a reference light and readjusting, the same formation reappeared at the opposite angle but same height and location before fading.

The object

Faint formation of lights moving in unison, ascending and shifting, with a cobweb-like filament floating upward

Returning to the field, the agents noted odd, very fresh, sharp scrapes in the dirt around a certain plant, symmetrical and round but not always a full circle, despite no wind the prior night. The same plant elsewhere showed no similar markings regardless of size.
