✦ AI summary
This is a 4-page FBI FD-1057 Electronic Communication (Rev. 5-8-10) titled "UAP Observations at [redacted]," dated 11/[redacted]/2024. It records that on that date two Special Agents visited the home of a person who had previously provided reports and video of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon over the last three years, in order to confirm them; the weather was about 48 degrees, overcast, with no precipitation. From about 4:45pm the agents were on the north-side patio, where the resident pointed out lights believed to be homes and other structures, and lights he claimed were eight miles away and could not be certain about. About twenty minutes later one Special Agent saw a white pulsation of light at the northern edge of a redacted location, moving horizontally with somewhat erratic movements for less than ten seconds before disappearing; it did not appear to reflect off the water or illuminate the area below it, and appeared to be at or below the tree line. The agent also saw white lights at the top of the tree line to the west that pulsed and flashed white/blue and seemed more stationary, and plumes of broad light followed by a red or white flash that moved erratically before disappearing. Five photos were taken but were mostly blurry, and it was later determined a tripod or other stable platform would be required. At about 5:30pm two Special Agents together saw a bright white light above a bright red light at the far end of the pond, hovering at approximately tree-top height; it moved quickly from right to left, disappeared, re-appeared where it had first appeared, moved quickly right to left again and disappeared. The agents stayed on the patio and backyard until about 6:10pm, went inside to download the most recent photos and videos the resident had taken, and departed at about 6:15pm.

[redacted] Details: [redacted] 2 [PAGE 3] [redacted] Title: [redacted] UAP Observations at [redacted] Re: [redacted] 11/[redacted]/2024 On 11/[redacted]/2024, Special Agents (SA) [redacted] and SA [redacted] visited the home of [redacted] at [redacted]. The purpose of the visit was confirm reports and video that [redacted] had previously provided of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) over the last three years. At the time of the surveillance, the weather was approximately 48 degrees, with overcast conditions and no precipitation. The official sunset time was [redacted]. At approximately 4:45pm, Agents and [redacted] went out to [redacted] patio on the north side of his home. [redacted] initially pointed out lights in the distance which [redacted] believed to be homes and other permanent structures. [redacted] also pointed to lights which [redacted] claimed to be eight miles away and could not be certain what those light sources were. Approximately twenty minutes later, SA [redacted] observed what [redacted] believed to be a UAP. In the direction of [redacted], SA [redacted] saw a white pulsation of light appear. The light appeared to be at the northern edge of [redacted] and began to move horizontally with somewhat erratic movements. The light did not appear to reflect off the water of [redacted], giving the possibility that the light source was over the wooded area to the north side of [redacted]. The light source did not appear to illuminate the area below it or the surface of [redacted]. The light appeared to an altitude at or below the tree line. The white light danced around less than ten seconds, moving side to side, and then disappeared. Within the tree line to the west of [redacted] home, there were other lights observed by Agents. On multiple occasions, SA [redacted] observed white lights appear at the top of the tree line. These lights would pulse and flash it white/blue hue and then disappear. These lights did not appear to move as erratically and seemed to be more stationary. SA [redacted] also observed plumes of broad light appearing for several seconds before a flash of light, either red or white, appeared, and moved erratically before disappearing. SA [redacted] attempted to capture observed UAP activity and these photos are attached to this communication. Five photos were taken, however the photos were mostly blurry and do not provide much context.

At approximately 5:15pm, [redacted] and [redacted] arrived home. Agents and [redacted] went inside briefly to meet them before returning to the patio. At approximately 5:30pm, SA [redacted] and SA [redacted] observed what they believed to be a UAP in the same location of [redacted] that SA [redacted] had seen the possible UAP. The UAP appeared as a bright white light above a bright red light at the far end of the pond hovered at a approximately tree-top height, moved quickly from right to left, disappeared, then re-appeared simultaneously where it had first appeared, moved quickly from right to left and disappeared again. Both Agents observed this activity. Agents and [redacted] remained on the patio and backyard, observing activity until approximately 6:10pm before going back inside [redacted] home to download the most recent photos and videos [redacted] had taken of activity behind [redacted] residence [redacted]. Agents discontinued surveillance and departed [redacted] home at approximately 6:15pm. [redacted] 4
