✦ AI summary

A two-page transcript, released by AARO through the Office of the Under Secretary of War (Intelligence and Security), of LLE-UAP-PR002: a 15-minute cellphone video recorded by a law enforcement officer in Colorado in October 2023. The officer narrates a light, which they call an "orb", over roughly fifteen minutes (timestamps 00:10 to 14:27). They say it is "the second night in a row", that the objects have moved from one redacted area to another, and that the night before "one of these things shined a very bright red and blue beam" into their patrol vehicle. They describe it gaining altitude and passing above a power line, say such objects "stay there for hours" and fly "in triangular motions", and recall seeing two disappear "in an instant at like supersonic speed". Around 09:03 the officer thinks it may be "separating" into two distinct lights; from 13:23 it moves west "at a pretty decent speed" with a beam coming off it, then towards the officer, who calls it "very terrifying". Place names are redacted under FOIA (b)(7)(A) and (b)(7)(C); AARO removed the original audio for privacy. All characterizations are the reporter's subjective interpretation.

[00:10] Speaker: So, I guarantee if I go and try to track it down again, it's going to try to flash lights at me. [00:20] Speaker: It's the second night in a row. [00:22] Speaker: Yesterday, they were in the (b)(7)(A), (b)(7)(C) Now they're migrating towards the (b)(7)(A), (b)(7)(C) area. [00:51] Speaker: It's getting… [00:55] Speaker: Looks like it's getting… getting some altitude. [01:04] Speaker: It's going above that power line. [01:51] Speaker: Yeah, there it goes. [02:00] Speaker: Definitely getting… going higher. [02:27] Speaker: Trying to see if it's gonna… zoom away. [02:38] Speaker: I have seen one that has disappeared in an instant, so I'm curious if this one's going to do the same thing. [02:48] Speaker: Right now, this one's just gaining altitude. [03:52] Speaker: So, I can definitely tell that it's flying towards me because the light is getting bigger. [PAGE 2] [05:37] Speaker: Weird thing about these things is they stay there for hours, and they will fly in triangular motions. [06:40] (Faint radio chatter in the background) [06:53] Speaker: Okay, so… [07:40] Speaker: So yesterday, one of these things shined a very, um, bright red and blue beam into my truck, a patrol vehicle. So, I'm trying to see if it's going to let off some greater light tonight or do something that resembles what happened yesterday. [09:03] Speaker: So, it looks like… can't be for sure, but it looks like there's… maybe it's maybe separating. It's like two distinct lights in that orb. [10:03] Speaker: Any minute now, it's going to shoot away. I'm kind of curious to see if I can catch that on camera. I've seen it twice where it'll just… disappear in an instant at like supersonic speed. [12:29] Speaker: Just don't understand what that is. [13:23] Speaker: Okay, now we're moving. [13:32] Speaker: Okay, it's moving to the west… at a pretty decent speed. [13:53] Speaker: Looks like it's got a… pretty good-sized beam coming off of it, too. [14:20] Speaker: Okay, it's definitely moving towards me. [14:27] Speaker: Which is… very terrifying.
