This Federal Bureau of Investigation electronic communication on form FD-1057, dated December 1, 2024, records a site survey filed under an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) case. Special Agents walked a trail loop around a redacted location to photograph the places where agents had seen UAP activity in November 2024. They found nothing unusual on the ground or at treetop level. The agents also judged that the moderate tree cover made it unrealistic to fly a drone there at night without crashing.
