✦ AI summary

This is a 2-page FBI FD-302 interview report (FD-302, Rev. 5-8-10) of a person interviewed in February 2026 by videoconference on Microsoft Teams, with a second person present for the interview. The interviewee received a Bachelor's Degree in Economics & Finance; other background details are redacted. The report says the person returned home at approximately 9:15PM EST and, pulling into a driveway that slopes downhill toward the residence, noticed an intense bright light hovering below the tree line in the middle of the backyard; they got out, stared at it and reached for a phone to take a video. Someone inside checked a security camera, saw the person standing next to the vehicle looking into the backyard and went outside. The light was described as a red sphere about one meter in diameter, a brilliant red never seen before, with a "white plasma sun" about the size of a basketball at its center. The orb moved up and to their left, a second, identical orb was seen hovering above the first, and the two moved together toward the west above the tree line, changing altitude and direction, silent and smooth, in tandem as if flying in formation or tethered together; as they moved out of sight they appeared to merge into one orb, or were so close that only one could be seen. A video starting when the orbs were above the trees and moving away is attached to the interview document. A few weeks later the interviewee saw several white orbs travel west to east over the house, much higher than the red orbs and about the size of a dime held at arm's length.
