Editorial summary

This is an FBI FD-302 interview record documenting an account of a February 2022 sighting near Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A U.S. military service member, interviewed in March 2025, said he and four others saw a motionless object hovering over a low point in Cheyenne Mountain around 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. on a clear day. He described it as bean-shaped, matte or off-white, covered in intersecting ridges forming an abstract polygon pattern, with no sound. The witnesses watched it for several minutes before it vanished when they looked away. An FBI note states AARO later contacted the interviewee for follow-up.

The individual described the phenomenon as being “bean shaped,” “matte white” or “off-white” in color, with a surface covered in “intersecting lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern.” The individual described the phenomenon as “motionless” and that “no sound could be heard coming from it.” FBI Note: AARO has since been in contact with the interviewee to conduct subsequent interviews to inform its analysis of this incident.
