This document represents one of the most detailed chronological UAP incident reports involving multiple senior US intelligence officials as direct witnesses, with FLIR and NVG sensor corroboration, during an active search mission at a classified US government facility in 2025.

Official Description
This is an FBI 302 interview conducted with a senior US intelligence official regarding his first-hand account of a UAP encounter at a US military facility. USPER relayed to FBI agents that he and other federal and state personnel conducted searches to where orbs had been previously seen. After searching the area with a helicopter, they found a “super-hot” orb hovering over the ground. The orb is reported to have travelled for 20 miles at a speed too fast for the helicopter in pursuit. An additional “swarm” of lights were seen moving in all directions. A total of four or five additional orbs were seen shortly thereafter for a short time, flaring up and then down. This pattern of four or five orbs flaring up, then down continued over the next thirty minutes across the area.
UAP Insight Analysis— AI generated, not official
This SECRET//NOFORN document is a detailed chronological incident report (likely an FBI 302 or equivalent intelligence debrief) documenting a multi-hour UAP encounter in 2025 involving two senior US intelligence officials, federal and state partners, and military aircraft during an aerial search operation near a classified US government site. The report describes multiple sightings of luminous orbs detected via FLIR, NVGs, and naked eye, including one orb that reportedly approached within ten feet of the search helicopter, split into two objects, and outpaced the helicopter at high speed, followed by repeated swarm and formation sightings over approximately 90 minutes. All specific location names, coordinates, personnel identities, and agency names are redacted.
Key Findings
→An orb detected under FLIR was described as 'super-hot' hovering at ground level, then accelerated at a high rate of speed eastward and southward before splitting into two separate objects, outpacing the helicopter's pursuit capability over an estimated 20-mile distance.
→The co-pilot observed under NVG something emerge from the two split objects and travel in a different direction at high speed, suggesting object-splitting or deployment behavior.
→Multiple sequential orb formation sightings were observed from approximately 2227 to 2257 hours, with orbs described as oval-shaped, orange with white or yellow centers, flaring up one at a time in horizontal or triangle formations then extinguishing in reverse order, each lasting approximately ten to fifteen seconds.
→The orbs reportedly came within ten feet of the search helicopter (CALL SIGN 1) and were later observed to appear to break off and pursue the military aircraft in the area.

→Pilots indicated they were recording video during the mission, but many sightings occurred above the helicopter and outside the FLIR camera's field of view, limiting sensor capture of key events.

Analyst Notes
All specific location names, coordinates, dates, personnel identities, and agency names are redacted, making independent verification impossible. Many key sightings occurred outside the helicopter's FLIR camera angle, limiting sensor corroboration for the most dramatic observations. The witness notes acknowledge some sightings were pilot call-outs not personally observed with the naked eye. The presence of five military aircraft conducting a training mission in the same airspace introduces potential for misidentification of some lights, though the document does not propose this as an explanation. The orb behavior (splitting, high speed travel, formation sequencing) is extraordinary and rests primarily on human observation rather than captured sensor data.
