Summary
This Department of War document summarizes statements by seven federal employees who separately reported observing several UAP in the western United States over two days in 2023. They described four distinct categories of experiences, including "orbs launching other orbs" at a distance, a large stationary glowing orb at close range, the pursuit of a large near-ground phenomenon, and a large, seemingly transparent object likened to a "translucent kite." Despite the absence of technical data, AARO regards the report as among its most compelling, citing shared features with other cases and the reporters' credibility.
Detail
This Department of War document summarizes statements by seven U.S. PERSONs employed by the federal government who separately reported observing several unidentified anomalous phenomena in the western United States over the course of two days in 2023.
The summary groups the reports into four distinct categories of experiences: observing "orbs launching other orbs" at a distance, observing a large stationary glowing orb at close estimated range, pursuing a large phenomenon near the ground, and observing a large, seemingly transparent phenomenon likened to a "translucent kite." Although no technical data is directly associated with the report, contextual factors—including similarities to other events reported to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the reporters' credibility, and the potentially anomalous nature of the events—combine to make this one of the most compelling reports in AARO's current holdings. The record was released through the PURSUE declassification.
