1. Western US Event, October 2023 — the case file

DOW-UAP-D077, AARO Unresolved Case Analysis Update: Western United States Event
AARO Case Analysis Update memo, signed Jon T. Kosloski, Director, AARO, dated 05 June 2026. Six federal law enforcement special agents (three teams of two), two days in October 2023, dusk, near a "sensitive national security site" in the western US. Pattern: an orange "mother orb" appears 1-2 s, releases 2-4 red "orbs," disappears; in one account a red orb stayed "stationary above a ridgeline for several hours." No video, photos, or sensor data — narrative only.

AARO's own disposition: flight logs confirm military aircraft were dispensing IR countermeasure flares in the area as part of a standard exercise, and radar/ADS-B correlation "strongly aligns" with ~60% of the reported activity. The residual ~40% is carried as "Unrecognized Technology (Pending)" — explicitly exclusion-based and "unsubstantiated by technical data or physical evidence." Celestial misidentification is rated "more plausible, though still unlikely" for the stationary-loitering subset. The Blue Force section notes the described characteristics "align with those of certain U.S. military technologies," with records "inconclusive" on presence.

DOW-UAP-D078, Notional Map: Western United States Event

Notional overhead map of four incidents "over a period of several days" (the D077 memo says two days): 1 "Orbs Launching Orbs," 2 "Fiery Orb" (~1,000 yd, against a ridgeline), 3 "Dark Kite" (thin dark kite-shaped object, one red and one white light, close range), 4 "Translucent Kite" (close range). genai.mil disclosure bottom-right.

Witness narrative statements (each a first-person memo to AARO):
  • DOW-UAP-D079, Narrative Statement 1, Western United States Event, 2023 (Western United States, October, 2023) — This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 1 provided to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 1 was one of several United States (U.S.) federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States. Note: also describes "thick spider web looking material" floating in the air — classic "angel hair," and October is peak ballooning-spider season.
  • DOW-UAP-D080, Narrative Statement 2, Western United States Event, 2023 (Western United States, October, 2023) — This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 2 provided to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 2 was one of several United States (U.S.) federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States. Note: includes car headlights "morphing" into an orb-like light and an "orb-like-disc" gliding to the roadside that was gone when they reached it; compares the experience to "portals."
  • DOW-UAP-D081, Narrative Statement 3, Western United States Event, 2023 (Western United States, October, 2023) — This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 3 provided to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 3 was one of several United States (U.S.) federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States. Note: NVG-equipped; orange orb crossed ~20° of sky in 3-5 s, expelled three red orbs "mechanical[ly]" "like grapes being expelled from a basketball," red orbs ran south in a line at ~1 s spacing; orbs were gone when a nearby vehicle left.
  • DOW-UAP-D082, Narrative Statement 4, Western United States Event, 2023 (Western United States, October, 2023) — This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 4 provided to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 4 was one of several United States (U.S.) federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States.
  • DOW-UAP-D083, Narrative Statement 5, Western United States Event, 2023 (Western United States, October, 2023) (redacted) — This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 5 provided to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 5 was one of several United States (U.S.) federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States. Note: two red orbs released simultaneously, one steady and horizontal; all lights out in ~10 s — consistent with sequential flare burn-out.

2. "Northeastern Orb" residence case, 2021-2026

FBI case file on recurring "plasma orbs" at and around one person's residence in the northeastern US. Per the blurbs, all of D004-D010 and PR001-PR004 "correspond to reports originating from the same general area." The FD-1057s reference an FBI Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP) Division; agents collected witness video, surveyed the site (treeline and trail-camera photos), and made their own on-site observations in November 2024 — inside the New Jersey drone-flap window. The February 2026 FD-302 witness reports a prior 1987 sighting ("a red light circling around itself... like the front end of KITT").

FBI-UAP-PR001, "Triangle Orbs," Northeastern United States, 2021

(Northeastern United States, November, 2021, 2m42s)
In November 2021, at approximately 0500 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed a bright light source near the horizon at an estimated distance of 2,000 feet. The light source initially appeared as a single intense luminous object before resolving into multiple lights exhibiting erratic rotational motion relative to one another. The object slowly moved laterally from left to right during the encounter. The eyewitness captured the video with a hand-held iPhone 12 Pro, resulting in unintended camera movement. The location was well known to the eyewitness and is sparsely populated. The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by the eyewitness to the event. The FBI assesses the individual who reported this event as highly credible.

FBI-UAP-PR002, "Red Orb Rotation," Northeastern United States, 2022

(Northeastern United States, March, 2022, 2m42s)
In March 2022, at approximately 1920 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed two bright red luminous light sources hovering near the horizon at an estimated distance of 2,500 feet. Both luminous objects maintained generally stationary positions throughout the encounter. The lower light source appeared to rotate slowly relative to the upper light source, moving from an apparent 6 o'clock position to slightly beyond the apparent 9 o'clock position. The eyewitness did not hear any sounds from the light sources. The eyewitness captured this video using an iPhone 12 Pro at a location well known to them, which is sparsely populated. FBI: witness assessed highly credible.

FBI-UAP-PR003, "Orbs Over the Pond," 2024

(Northeastern United States, October, 2024, 4m25s)
In October 2024, at approximately 1851 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed a light source below the horizon, hovering above a pond at an estimated distance of 2,700 feet. The luminous object resembled a "plasma-like sphere" intermittently changing shape and luminosity. At times, the primary light source appeared to separate into smaller luminous points. A luminous point below the primary source hovered just above the water and did not appear consistent with a surface reflection. The object remained generally stationary for approximately 45 minutes before disappearing. The eyewitness did not hear any sound from the objects. This video was captured by a private citizen on an iPhone and subsequently analyzed and authenticated by the U.S. Government. To protect the individual's privacy, the footage has been cropped. Apart from this privacy-protective measure, no edits, enhancements, or alterations have been made to the visual content. FBI: witness assessed highly credible.
Note: a luminous source "generally stationary" low over a pond for ~45 minutes is a strong distant-light/celestial candidate; the "below the horizon" claim needs terrain checking. Defocused handheld night video produces exactly this "plasma-like sphere changing shape" appearance.

FBI-UAP-PR004, "Northeastern Orb Sighting," 2025

(Northeastern United States, July, 2025, 49s)
In July 2025, at approximately 2100 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed an intense bright light in their backyard as they parked their car upon returning home from work. The light was hovering approximately 25 feet off the ground, below a tree line near the center of their backyard, at an estimated distance of 90 feet. The eyewitness exited their vehicle briefly before retrieving their phone to record the event. The spouse of the eyewitness came outside to assess the situation. The spouse also witnessed the light, describing it as a "brilliant red sphere" about one meter in diameter. The center of the red sphere appeared to be a white plasma "sun" about the size of a basketball. The orb slowly rose and moved to the left, and both eyewitnesses observed a second, identical orb, hovering above the other orb. The eyewitness then began recording the event using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, capturing the footage depicted in this video. As the eyewitness began recording, the orbs moved westward together above a nearby tree line. The witnesses described the orbs' motion as silent and smooth, and as moving in tandem as though they were flying in formation or tethered together. As the orbs moved out of sight, both eyewitnesses saw them appear to merge. The eyewitnesses estimated that the orbs moved from their initial position before disappearing from view at an estimated distance of 75 yards. This observation occurred within 25 miles of the "Triangle Orbs," "Red Orb Rotation," and "Orbs Over the Pond," sightings at a location well known to them, which is sparsely populated. The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by eyewitnesses to the event. The FBI assesses the individuals who reported this event as credible.
Note: paired with the two FD-302s below — witness arriving home ~2100, light 20-30 ft up at ~30 yd (agent triangulation), spouse saw a "brilliant red sphere," objects moved laterally and one "went into" the other before disappearing.

  • FBI-UAP-D004, FD-1057-02, Northeastern United States, 2024 (Northeastern United States, October, 2024) (redacted) — (FD-1057) This FD-1057 documents the FBI's contact with a U.S. person in October 2024, during which FBI special agents collected video footage and gathered information regarding the circumstances surrounding its capture.

  • FBI-UAP-D010, FD-302-71, "Northeastern Orb Sighting," 2026 (Northeastern United States, 2026) (redacted) — (FD-302) This FD-302 records an interview with a U.S. person regarding their first-hand account of an incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena.
3. Colorado Springs / Cheyenne Mountain, February 2022

Five Army service members at Fort Carson, 15 Feb 2022, 0935 MST: a stationary, jet-sized, "angular, non-symmetrical potato made of uneven panels," matte/translucent shimmering white, ~300-500 ft above Cheyenne Mountain (~6 mi away), 30-180 s, sudden disappearance. Reported to AARO in 2023; witness interviewed March 2025.

  • FBI-UAP-D001, FD-302, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022 (Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S., February, 2022) (redacted) — This document is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FD-302, a form the FBI uses to record interviews. This FD-302 contains a summary of an interview with a U.S. military service member in March 2025 regarding a February 2022 incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The individual described the phenomenon as being "bean shaped," "matte white" or "off-white" in color, with a surface covered in "intersecting lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern." The individual described the phenomenon as "motionless" and that "no sound could be heard coming from it." FBI Note: AARO has since been in contact with the interviewee to conduct subsequent interviews to inform its analysis of this incident.
  • FBI-UAP-D002, FD-1057, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022 (Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S., 2022) (redacted) — (FD-1057) This FD-1057 contains a first-hand narrative description of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reported near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The interviewee provided this statement to FBI special agents to aid in producing a digital artistic interpretation of the incident.
  • FBI-UAP-D003, Digital Rendering, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022 (Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S., 2022) — This image is an artistic interpretation of a 2022 incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) reported near Colorado Springs, Colorado. This image is derived from the first-hand narrative description contained in "FBI-UAP-D002, FD-1057, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022".
  • ICA-UAP-D001, Analysis: Colorado Springs UAP Incident, 2022 (Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S., 2022) (redacted) — This document contains analysis by an All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) Intelligence Community (IC) partner to account for a 2022 incident involving an airborne object near Colorado Springs, Colorado. U.S. military service members reported the incident to AARO in 2023. AARO's IC partner assessed, with low confidence, that the reported phenomenon, which observers characterized as resembling an "angular, non-symmetrical potato," was attributable to sunlight backscattering, where sunlight reflecting from mountain snow cover illuminated the underside of low-altitude clouds. This low-confidence assessment contributes to AARO's consideration of the incident, which remains unresolved as of June 2026.
Note: the ICA analysis (an "AARO IC partner," agency anonymized) assesses with low confidence that this was sunlight backscattering — snow-reflected light illuminating the underside of low clouds. Witnesses insisted on clear blue skies; AFWA and Weather Underground records show partly-to-mostly cloudy. Worth keeping that testimonial/instrumental discrepancy in mind when weighing the no-data Western US narratives.

4. CIA historical batch (1950-2008)

  • CIA-UAP-002, Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, Report, 1952-1953 (1952-1953) — This file contains correspondence and reports dated 1952–1953 from the Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects, convened by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence. The panel's primary conclusion was that "flying saucers" did not pose a direct physical threat to the national security of the United States. The panel found no evidence that these phenomena were attributable to hostile foreign artifacts or indicated a need to revise existing scientific concepts. However, the panel identified a significant indirect threat stemming from the public's fascination with the subject. The panel concluded that the high volume of reports, encouraged by a "sensationalist press," could overwhelm and clog vital intelligence and communication channels, potentially distracting from genuine threats. Furthermore, they warned that a "morbid national psychology" could be exploited by adversaries to incite "hysterical behavior and harmful distrust of duly constituted authority." To mitigate these risks, the panel recommended an official policy of "debunking" to "strip the UFO subject of its mystery," alongside a training initiative for military personnel to better recognize and filter out misidentified objects, thereby reducing communication "noise" and allowing the national security apparatus to focus on more "legitimate defense concerns."
  • CIA-UAP-003, The Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance; The U-2 and OXCART Programs, 1954-1974 (1954-1974) — This CIA History Staff document chronicles the complete history of the U-2 and OXCART (A-12) high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft programs from 1954 to 1974, detailing their development, operations over the Soviet Union and other targets worldwide, the famous downing of Francis Gary Powers in 1960, organizational reforms following that incident, and the eventual transfer of operations from CIA to Air Force control.

  • CIA-UAP-019, Australian Dept of Defense Scientific and Intel Aspects of the UFO Problem (Australia, 1971) — Dated to 1971, an Australian review of the USAF Project Blue Book. This document was released by the National Archives of Australia.
Notes: CIA-UAP-019 is the Turner 1971 JIO report (NAA A13693, 3092/2/000) — but only the 19-page report+appendices, not the 59-page file (no minute sheets, no Magonia-derived "weapon systems" annex). The report is a synthesis of public ufology literature (Keyhoe figures, Davidson's Saucerian-press reprint, the Hlavatý-Einstein error), so a 2026 "CIA release" stamp adds no evidential weight. CIA-UAP-004 is the 1958 Leon Davidson memo — the same Davidson whose reprint Turner used. CIA-UAP-002/015 (Robertson Panel, Blue Book SR-14) have been public for decades; diff against CREST copies before claiming anything new.

The official responses consistently state that, circa 1998, the U.S. Government is not aware of evidence supporting the existence of extraterrestrial technology, and that NASA does not actively investigate "UFOs." The collection includes references to materials of both confirmed and unconfirmed authenticity, as provided by constituents, as well as references to historical, scientific literature addressing specific "UFO" sighting claims.
Notes: D087/D088 are 172 pages of SECRET-stamped numbered incident summaries (NARA declass NND 917033) starting with Incident #1, Muroc Air Field, 8 July 1947 — the SIGN/GRUDGE incident file in clean scans. D086 (Fifth Naval District, 13 Dec 1948) quotes the USAF Director of Intelligence that "a cycle of reappearance of 'Flying Discs' is becoming apparent, and that the beginning of a new interval is imminent" — the Air Force modeling saucer waves as periodic in 1948.

  • NASA-UAP-D016, Preliminary Gemini 4 Crew Debriefing, Part I, 1965 (North Atlantic Ocean, 6/9/65) — This document is a preliminary transcript (Part I) derived from voice recordings of the Gemini 4 flight crew debriefing taken aboard the recovery ship, USS Wasp, on June 9, 1965. Astronaut Ed White recounts seeing "sparkles" during the flight.
  • NASA-UAP-D017, Preliminary Gemini 4 Crew Debriefing, Part II, 1965 (North Atlantic Ocean, 6/9/65) — This document is a preliminary transcript (Part II) derived from voice recordings of the Gemini 4 flight crew debriefing taken aboard the recovery ship, USS Wasp, on June 9, 1965. Part II of this document contains the "Visual Sightings" section of the debriefing (pages 196-224), where astronauts James McDivitt and Edward White describe their observations while aboard the spacecraft.
  • NASA-UAP-D018, Gemini 4 Experiment Debriefing, 1967 (Low Earth Orbit, June 3-7, 1965) — Gemini IV was the second crewed mission of the Gemini series. Astronauts James McDivitt and Edward White successfully completed the four-day flight between June 3 and June 7, 1965. The mission included the first American spacewalk. This collection of documents contains a transcription of the astronauts recounting their observations of bright particles outside the spacecraft, dated circa June 25, 1967, on pages 78-81, and page 101.
  • NASA-UAP-D019, Gemini 5 Technical Debriefing, Part I, 1965 (Cape Kennedy, Florida, August 2 - September 2, 1965) — This document is a preliminary transcript (Part I) derived from voice recordings of the Gemini 5 flight crew technical debriefing. NASA conducted this debriefing between August 30, 1965, and September 2, 1965, at the Crew Quarters, Cape Kennedy, Florida.
  • NASA-UAP-D020, Gemini 5 Technical Debriefing, Part II, 1965 (Cape Kennedy, Florida, August 30 - September 2, 1965) — This document is a preliminary transcript (Part II) derived from voice recordings of the Gemini 5 flight crew technical debriefing. NASA conducted this debriefing between August 30, 1965, and September 2, 1965, at the Crew Quarters, Cape Kennedy, Florida. Astronauts L. Gordon Cooper and Charles "Pete" Conrad described observing debris and "snow" and "all sorts of glittering pieces of this, that and the other thing" in the "Visual Sightings" section of the document (pages 157-220).
  • NASA-UAP-D021, Gemini 7 Technical Debriefing, 1965 (Cape Kennedy, Florida, December 19-21, 1965) — This document is a preliminary transcript derived from voice recordings of the Gemini 7 flight crew debriefing conducted December 19-21, 1965, at the Crew Quarters, Cape Kennedy, Florida. Lights and flashes are mentioned and there is discussion about having proper illumination for vehicle docking. Borman and Lovell discuss celestial and terrestrial observational anomalies and note sightings of Mercury, meteors, aurora, and lightning. They also discuss not being able to see any stars once the Sun comes up.
  • NASA-UAP-D022, Gemini 9 Debriefing, 1966 (Low Earth Orbit, June 3-6, 1966) — Gemini IX (renamed Gemini IX-A) was the seventh crewed flight of the Gemini series, launched on June 3, 1966. The mission's primary objectives included a spacewalk and multiple scientific and medical experiments. This document, dated June 16, 1966, is a transcript of a NASA debriefing of astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan. Pages 2-5 of this document contain the astronauts' accounts of their observations of "flashing lights" and "sparkles" during the mission.
NASA-UAP-D023, Interview Excerpt with Astronaut Gordon Cooper, 1962

(n/a, November, 1962, 2m03s)
In November 1962, journalist Walter Cronkite interviewed astronaut Gordon Cooper. In this excerpt from that interview, Cronkite asks Cooper about his views regarding the nature of unidentified flying objects, having previously expressed an interest in the subject. Cooper opines that "a large number of exceptionally well-qualified people have seen objects" without a "logical explanation" and speculates on the existence of other planets with "a livable atmosphere" and that maybe there are "some type of human life" out there. Interview was conducted in November 1962.

NASA-UAP-D024, "Apollo 16 Scientific Debriefing"

(Houston, Texas, n/a, 96m32s)
This debriefing includes presentations from principal investigators of various Apollo experiments. The principal investigators describe preliminary results of their work to educate the Apollo crews about what they've obtained from Apollo 16 to help prepare for Apollo 17. They also describe anomalies, such as a "flash" that was observed that had not yet been reported. The flash is mentioned beginning at 25:15.

NASA-UAP-D025, "Apollo 16 Scientific Debriefing"

(Houston, Texas, n/a, 55m41s)
At 32:41, the speaker makes an off-handed comment, "Could be an alien starbase or something, I don't know" when discussing correlations between experimental data sets.
Note: the two Apollo 16 "audio" records are distributed as 1080p video files of 3.2 GB and 1.28 GB (97 + 56 min). Audio-only extraction is trivial if anyone wants to mirror them.

Note: the Gemini debriefing transcripts are the primary-source check on astronaut-UFO lore — e.g., McDivitt's Gemini 4 "tadpole" can now be read against his own debrief instead of the retellings.

Sorry if this has been answered in the other threads but do we know if these releases are all specifically things that were requested by Luna/UFO insiders? If so, this is pretty damning for all the claims that there is incredible classified footage we just weren't allowed to see
 
What are the Dept of War doing releasing iPhone footage taken by a civilian? With no audio or geolocation. (first video on the list FBI-UAP-PR003, "Orbs Over the Pond," 2024
What a joke.
EDIT: "The FBI assess the individuals who reported this event as credible" - So name them!
