Detail

Released through the PURSUE declassification, this video depicts a March 2022 sighting at approximately 1920 local time in the northeastern United States. An eyewitness observed two bright red luminous light sources hovering near the horizon, estimated at about 2,500 feet away. Both objects remained generally stationary, while the lower one appeared to rotate slowly relative to the upper one, moving from an apparent 6 o'clock position to slightly past the apparent 9 o'clock position. No sound was heard.

The footage was captured on an iPhone 12 Pro at a sparsely populated location well known to the witness. The description is derived from statements the eyewitness provided to the FBI, which assessed the individual as highly credible. This material corresponds to a cluster of related reports (FBI-UAP-D004 through D008 and FBI-UAP-PR001 through PR003) from the same general area in the northeastern United States.
