Federal Bureau of Investigation · 2026 · 2 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Federal Bureau of Investigation FD-302 from 2026 records a written statement signed by an FBI Special Agent describing an unidentified aerial object. At about 2100 hours, the agent saw a thermally elevated object flying southbound in the same western sector as an object seen the previous night. Compared with video of a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, the object appeared about half the Black Hawk's size. The agent could not determine its type or propulsion before terrain and distance hid it from view.
