What the government released
This document is an FBI FD-302, a form the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses to record interviews. This FD-302 records a 2026 interview with a U.S. Government Special Agent, in which the interviewee describes an incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the western United States, at approximately 4:00 PM local time, in 2026. This FD-302 is accompanied by video footage captured during the incident, under the title FBI-UAP-PR007.

This interview does not stand alone. The Bureau released it together with Slow-moving Objects, which makes it one of the few places in the archive where a witness account and a recording of the same reported event can be set against each other.
Status of the case
An FD-302 is the form on which the Federal Bureau of Investigation writes down what a witness said, recorded by the agent who conducted the interview. It establishes that the account was given and that the Bureau thought it worth preserving — not that the events happened as remembered. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has made no determination about this report, and the Bureau’s own description of these files calls them documentation of interviews rather than findings. Where a digital rendering accompanies an interview, the image was drawn in 2026 from the witness’s description, which means it reproduces the account rather than independently confirming it; an illustration of testimony carries exactly the weight of the testimony it illustrates and no more. That distinction matters most for night-time lights, where distance, size and speed are the first estimates to fail in the absence of a reference object, and where a compelling drawing can lend a recollection a precision the recollection never had.
