AI summary

FBI-UAP-D009 is an FD-302 witness interview report, 2 pages, documenting a February 2026 interview conducted via Microsoft Teams. The witness, holding a Bachelor's degree in Economics/Finance and currently in a professional role (details redacted), described returning home one night at approximately 9:15 PM EST. While pulling into their sloped driveway, the witness's spouse/companion was standing next to the vehicle looking into the backyard; the witness joined them and saw what they were looking at: a red sphere about one meter in diameter, described as a brilliant, beautiful red the witness had never seen before. Inside the sphere, at its center, was what the witness called a "white plasma sun" about the size of a basketball. As they watched, the orb moved up and to their left, and they then noticed a second, identical orb hovering above and near the first. The two orbs moved together toward the west above the treeline, exhibiting changes in both altitude and direction during the observation, moving silently and smoothly in tandem as if flying in formation or tethered together; as they moved out of sight the witnesses saw the orbs merge into one, or appeared to due to proximity. The witnesses captured video of the orbs from the point they were above the trees moving away from the backyard, attached to the interview document. A few weeks later, the witness reported seeing several additional white orbs travel over their house from west to east, much higher in altitude than the earlier red orbs, appearing about the size of a dime held at arm's length.
