✦ AI summary
An FD-302 documents a joint FBI interview conducted in April 2025 with two witnesses (names and exact date redacted) about a sighting they placed one evening in June or July 2011. While leaving a driveway around 8-9 PM, one witness spotted three lights in the sky, exited the vehicle, and observed a massive black isosceles-triangle-shaped object flying north at low altitude, with a large white light recessed in each of its three corners and a low, pulsing humming sound; it was visible for about 10-15 seconds before disappearing behind a tree line, too quickly to be filmed, and left no contrails. The driver estimated the object at roughly 800 feet in altitude and about 200 by 100 feet in size, described its shape as closer to equilateral, and recalled a grayish or graphite-colored area near its center, though neither witness could clearly describe its thickness or side profile. Both believed neighbors had also seen the object and said they would try to identify additional witnesses willing to speak with the FBI.

The object had a car-sized white light in each of its three corners that emitted a diffuse glow and were recessed back a bit from the corners. The object was low to the ground, and creating a low humming noise that made a pulsing sound. Po told him to take a video, but by the time JJ got his phone out, the object had flown over the tree line behind the houses to the north, and out of sight. He had seen the object for approximately 10-15 seconds. There were no contrails left behind the object. f | felt dumbfounded and awestruck during the experience. When f | observed the object, he was overwhelmed by the size of it and how low it was to the ground. [J thought the object may have been 800 feet above the ground, and based on the dimensions of their environment, he estimated the object was 200 feet long and 100 feet wide. | | believed the object had more of an equilateral triangle shape, but based on the calculated dimensions, it could have been more of an isosceles triangle. The object was moving slowly and steadily, and he also heard the pulsing sound. a saw the three lights in the corners, but also remembered seeing something in the middle of the triangle that was grayish or graphite colored, Neither | | nor | | had a clear memory of the thickness or any other description of the vertical profile of the triangle. They opined that they were initially underneath the triangle and didn’t really have a view of its side or vertical profile. They were then temporarily distracted by their unsuccessful attempt to get a phone out to video record the UAP, at the moment when they likely would have had a better view of the back profile. f believed a couple of people in the neighborhood also saw the object, GB anc BMJ stated they would also would try to see if QJ as well as their neighbors who witnessed the UAP, would be willing to write a statement about their observation, or speak to the FBI about it.
