Official description

This document is an FBI FD-1057, a form the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses to record investigative activity. This FBI FD-1057 documents a December 2024 site survey of a location where two FBI special agents had previously observed unidentified anomalous phenomena. 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.

✦ AI summary

FBI-UAP-D008 is a two-page FD-1057 Electronic Communication (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon case file) titled "Site survey of [redacted]" and dated December 2024 (day redacted). Its enclosures are six sets of photos taken around the site on FBI-issued phones. Special Agents surveilled the area to photograph and survey the locations where agents had observed UAP activity in November 2024. They walked the perimeter of the site clockwise starting at about 10:30am, following a marked trail of roughly two miles. At about 11:00am, on the northwest side, they left the trail and descended to the water's edge; facing south they had an unobstructed line of sight to a property. In the vicinity where agents had viewed UAP activity, nothing unusual was present on the ground or at treetop level. On the north side, also near the observed activity, again nothing unusual was seen, apart from an area that appeared to be a once-used fire pit with no evidence of recent burns, the ground blanketed with leaves. From the water's edge, agents had line of sight to multiple homes to the east. The agents assessed tree cover in the area as moderate and judged it unrealistic for someone to fly a drone or other craft there at night without risking a crash into tree limbs.
