Official Description

This document is an FBI FD-1057, a form the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses to record investigative activity. This FD-1057 documents an October 2024 interview with a US person regarding several incidents potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena in the northeastern United States over the previous three years. The subject matter described in files FBI-UAP-D004 through FBI-UAP-D008 and depicted in the video footage FBI-UAP-PR001 through FBI-UAP-PR003 corresponds to reports originating from the same general area in the northeastern United States.

Key Findings

→The witness's first UAP sighting occurred on 11/[redacted]/2021 around 5am, when a singular light split into two or three lights forming a triangular pattern with a central light, lasting approximately ten minutes.
→A second sighting on 03/[redacted]/2022 was recorded on video, previously provided to the FBI; UAP sightings are typically observed at dusk or at night and the lights appear to morph and move laterally.
→The witness described a 1996 incident in New Mexico while driving with a U.S. Army officer from Fort Bliss, TX to Fort Carson, CO, during which the vehicle shut down and a large light illuminated the occupants for approximately two minutes before the vehicle's electronics restored.
→The witness attempted to rule out conventional aircraft by cross-referencing sighting timestamps and azimuths with ADSB data.
→It is reported as common for video recordings of the sightings to become corrupted, and lights disappeared immediately when accidentally illuminated by a camera flash.

UAP Insight Analysis— AI generated, not official

This FBI FD-1057 electronic communication documents an October 2024 interview with a redacted witness who reported multiple UAP sightings beginning in November 2021 from their property in an unspecified location in the northeastern United States. The witness described lights that split and formed triangular patterns, morphed, and moved laterally, and also recounted a 1996 incident in New Mexico involving vehicle electronics shutdown. The witness cross-referenced sightings against ADSB flight data in an attempt to rule out conventional aircraft.

Analyst Notes

All identifying information including witness name, employer, location, and interviewing agents is redacted, limiting independent verification. The report is based entirely on single-witness testimony with no independent sensor corroboration documented within this record. The witness self-reported never having prior interest in UAPs and acknowledged their account 'may seem weird or crazy.' The witness attempted to use ADSB data to rule out aircraft but this analysis is not fully documented. Corrupted video and accidental flash photo loss of evidence reduce corroborating material. The 1996 New Mexico incident is a secondhand account relayed within the interview with no corroboration.
