This is an FBI FD-302 interview report documenting a witness account of a UAP sighting at a US military test site in September 2023. A female employee with approximately 15 years of experience at the facility, along with at least one contractor, observed a cigar-shaped metallic bronze object hovering and moving slowly east to west before disappearing after 5-10 seconds. The document is heavily redacted, concealing the witness identities, specific facility name, and location details.

Key Findings
