FBI September 2023 Sighting - Serial 5

On September 1, 2023, a U.S. citizen at a domestic test site observed a bright light near the horizon while passing through a gate. According to the file, the witness was traveling in a vehicle when the object came into view. The witness noted that the light maintained consistent size and intensity throughout the observation period. A second vehicle occupied by another witness attempted to obtain a closer view but was unsuccessful.

The witness reported no electromagnetic interference with either vehicle during the encounter. One witness expressed initial frustration at the sighting, noting that the airspace had been restricted in preparation for scheduled drone tests at the facility. The incident appears to have affected the witness psychologically, with the individual experiencing disrupted sleep and unusual dreams for the two nights following the observation.

According to the file, a severe weather event occurred that evening, causing a loss of television service at the witness's hotel. The witness checked multiple televisions in the facility to confirm the outage was widespread rather than isolated to his room. The document is a continuation of an FBI 302 interview report and has been cleared for public release as part of the Department of War's PURSUE disclosure initiative.
