Official description
This video is an artistic interpretation of a reported incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023. This digital recreation is based upon a first-hand description provided by a federal law enforcement special agent, as described in DOW-UAP-D081. The Federal Bureau of Investigation prepared this digital recreation at the request of the Department of War in 2026
✦ AI visual analysis
Color night-time footage shows a dark, rugged mountain ridge silhouette with cactus and scrub vegetation in the foreground, set against a deep blue dusk or night sky scattered with visible stars. No distinct anomalous object, light, or craft is discernible in either frame — the shots appear to be an establishing sky/landscape view rather than a tracked target.
