Document summary
A redacted first-person witness statement (SECRET//NOFORN) from a senior US intelligence official who, with federal and state partners, conducted a helicopter aerial search over a mountain range after eyewitnesses reported orbs and "thuds." Over roughly two hours that night the crew repeatedly observed orbs flaring up and down in horizontal formations, swarms of lights "too many to count," objects splitting in two, and orbs that approached the helicopter and appeared to pursue nearby military aircraft.
Official page text
- Two large oval orbs — orange with a white/yellow center — appeared close to the helicopter and above its rotor disk; more orbs then flared up below them in sequence.
- Orbs repeatedly flared up one at a time in horizontal formations and flared down in reverse order at multiple locations through the night.
- An orb reportedly came within ten feet of the helicopter, broke into two objects, and witnesses said the orbs appeared to break off and pursue military aircraft.
- A listening/observation post tracked a "super-hot" orb hovering at ground level under FLIR; the helicopter was unable to match its speed.
