This memorandum presents the first-hand naiTative from Witness 4 provided to the All domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 4 was one of several United States (U.S.) federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States. 2. Witness Na1rntive. fu response to AARO 's request to provide a free-fo1m naiTative of the sequence of events exactly as they remember them, Witness 4 submitted the following text: "Sometime in October 2023, just after sunset (7PM), I saw a bright ball of light like a shooting stai· beam across and over a hillside. The light was approximately 1-2k above ground level, was orange/yellow and white in color and appeai·ed for about a second or two. I was approximately less than a quaiter of a mile from the hillside, and the ball of light seem ve1y close to me as if it was a shooting star coming towai·ds the hillside, towai·d and not away from me. The colors of the light went from amber to orange, slightly yellow and white in that order. No other lights were seen, nor did I hear any mechanical buzzing or anything like an aircraft at this time and kept driving. After about 10 minutes I saw with my naked eye multiple singulai· bright orange lights/orbs of vai·ious brightness, size and distance. Using my night vision goggles (NVGs) I saw the saine lights in addition to multiple other lights. Some of the lights seen with NVG's were organized in a line of three, evenly spaced and at various altitudes, horizontally just above the skyline. Most of the lights were only visible for approx. 1-2 seconds before disappeai·ing. Later, I observed multiple singulai· ve1y bright orange lights that appeai·ed to shoot out smaller orange lights as if being hatched from the lai·ger ve1y bright orange light. The hatching occmTed multiple times, I lost track after five occmTences. The smaller lights seemed to travel downwards like a falling flai·e. Soon thereafter I saw nine lights fo1med a horizontal line just above a ridgeline. The lights were static, not moving, evenly spaced apait and were visible for 30+ seconds. Smaller lights then appeai·ed below and to the left and right of the line of nine lights. These smaller lights seemed to cluster (almost touching) in a combination of three. The lights soon disappeared only to appeai· again directly behind me. All these observations occmTed within a 2-3 hom span, nonstop. 1 UNCLASSIFIED
