Western US Event

Western US Event is indexed as a Department of War record with incident date 2023 and location Western United States. This document is a summary of statements by seven US 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 notes the US PERSONS reported four distinct categories of experiences, including 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, reported to being akin to a translucent kite. Although there is no technical data directly associated with this report, contextual factors such as these events sharing features with others reported to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the reporters credibility, and the potentially anomalous nature of the events themselves combine to make this report among the most compelling within AARO s current holdings.

Details

• Time of Day: Dusk (on two separate days) Three teams of two federal law enforcement special agents each (USPER1 through USPER6) independently describe seeing orange orbs in the sky emit/launch smaller red orbs in groups of two to four, with three being the general consensus. (native PDF text, page 1)
• This is stated to have occurred at least five times. (native PDF text, page 1)
• Each time, the orange orb would appear, launch red orbs, then disappear. (native PDF text, page 1)
• The orange orb was only visible for one or two seconds. (native PDF text, page 1)
• The red orbs would generally move away from the orange mother orb in a horizontal path, but in a couple of instances, one red orb was stated to move heading up at an angle, while another witness stated sometimes the red orbs would swoop down after being launched from the larger orange orb. (native PDF text, page 1)
• Artist Rendering Time of Day: Dusk Two federal law enforcement special agents (USPER5 and USPER6) witness a glowing orange orb at a distance of approximately 500-600 meters, * where it was perched close to a rock pinnacle. (native PDF text, page 2)
• Size was difficult to determine, but it appeared to be similar in size to a small helicopter cockpit. ** Witnesses were unable to clearly see any structure other than the glowing orb, though USPER6 noted that the object did almost appear it might have had a small spindle or something connecting it from underneath to. (native PDF text, page 2)
• Witnesses stated that the object did not emit any noticeable sound. (native PDF text, page 2)
