Editorial summary

This FBI FD-1057 form records a 2024 forensic sketch interview with a witness to an unidentified anomalous phenomenon reported over Cheyenne Mountain near Colorado Springs, Colorado. The witness, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, said that along with four members of his unit he observed the object on a clear day with no clouds. He described it as potato shaped with distinct edges and a creamy, opalescent color, made up of irregular panels that shifted in slow waves while the object itself stayed perfectly still. After about two minutes, he said the object cloaked and vanished, leaving no shadow. The interview was conducted to aid an FBI forensic artist in producing a sketch.
