Official Description
This document is a transcript of a 15-minute video recording contained in this collection under the title LLE-UAP-PR002, captured by a law enforcement officer in Colorado in October 2023. AARO removed the audio from the original recording to protect information whose release could reasonably be expected to affect the privacy or other protected interests of a U.S. person or commercial entity. This transcript is also redacted to protect the identity of the reporter and sensitive law enforcement information. All descriptive and estimative language in this transcript reflects the reporter’s subjective interpretation at the time of the event. Such characterizations should not be interpreted as a conclusive indication of the presence or absence of any intrinsic object features or performance characteristics.
Key Findings
- →Officer reports observing the same type of lights on a second consecutive night and says they 'migrate' between areas (locations redacted).
- →Officer states one object shined a bright red and blue beam into his patrol vehicle the previous night.
- →Officer claims to have twice seen such objects 'disappear in an instant at like supersonic speed,' but this is not captured in the transcribed footage.
- →During the recording the light gains altitude above a power line, appears to separate into two distinct lights within an orb, then moves west and toward the officer with a beam.
- →Officer states the objects remain for hours and fly in 'triangular motions'; all descriptive language is characterized as subjective.

Beginning of transcript. 00:10: Speaker: So, I guarantee if I go and try to track it down again, it's going to try to flash lights at me. 00:20: Speaker: It's the second night in a row. 00:22: Speaker: Yesterday, they were in the [REDACTED] Now they're migrating towards the [REDACTED] area. 00:51: Speaker: It's getting... 00:55: Speaker: Looks like it's getting... getting some altitude. 01:04: Speaker: It's going above that power line. 01:51: Speaker: Yeah, there it goes. 02:00: Speaker: Definitely getting... going higher. 02:27: Speaker: Trying to see if it's gonna... zoom away. 02:38: Speaker: I have seen one that has disappeared in an instant, so I'm curious if this one's going to do the same thing. 02:48: Speaker: Right now, this one's just gaining altitude. 03:52: Speaker: So, I can definitely tell that it's flying towards me because the light is getting bigger.
05:37: Speaker: Weird thing about these things is they stay there for hours, and they will fly in triangular motions. 06:40: (Faint radio chatter in the background) 06:53: Speaker: Okay, so... 07:40: Speaker: So yesterday, one of these things shined a very, um, bright red and blue beam into my truck, a patrol vehicle. So, I'm trying to see if it's going to let off some greater light tonight or do something that resembles what happened yesterday. 09:03: Speaker: So, it looks like... can't be for sure, but it looks like there's... maybe it's maybe separating. It's like two distinct lights in that orb. 10:03: Speaker: Any minute now, it's going to shoot away. I'm kind of curious to see if I can catch that on camera. I've seen it twice where it'll just... disappear in an instant at like supersonic speed. 12:29: Speaker: Just don't understand what that is. 13:23: Speaker: Okay, now we're moving. 13:32: Speaker: Okay, it's moving to the west... at a pretty decent speed. 13:53: Speaker: Looks like it's got a... pretty good-sized beam coming off of it, too. 14:20: Speaker: Okay, it's definitely moving towards me. 14:27: Speaker: Which is... very terrifying.
