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.
