Official metadata describes a 2026 hand-held thermal imaging video captured by a U.S. Government Special Agent (FBI) in the western United States, referenced to companion document FBI-UAP-D032. The footage shows two slow-moving 'black-hot' areas of contrast in infrared imaging. The video file itself was not reviewed; analysis relies solely on the official description.
Analyst Notes
Analysis is based only on a brief official description, not the video. The footage comes from a single hand-held thermal device with no stated radar or multi-sensor corroboration. 'Areas of contrast' in thermal imagery are non-specific and could be birds, drones, balloons, or other mundane objects; no range, size, or altitude data is given. Key context lies in FBI-UAP-D032, which is not provided here.
