Transcript of an Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023

This transcript comes from AARO under the Office of the Under Secretary of War. It covers a 15-minute video that a Colorado law enforcement officer recorded in October 2023, catalogued as LLE-UAP-PR002, and it is redacted to protect the reporter's identity. The officer describes a light seen for a second night in a row that gains altitude, splits into two distinct lights and moves west toward them. The officer says a similar object shone a red and blue beam into their patrol vehicle the night before.

05:37: Speaker: Weird thing about these things is they stay there for hours, and they will fly in
triangular motions.
06:40: (Faint radio chatter in the background)
06:53: Speaker: Okay, so...
07:40: Speaker: So yesterday, one of these things shined a very, um, bright red and blue beam
into my truck, a patrol vehicle. So, I’m trying to see if it’s going to let off some greater light
tonight or do something that resembles what happened yesterday.
09:03: Speaker: So, it looks like... can’t be for sure, but it looks like there’s... maybe it’s maybe
separating. It’s like two distinct lights in that orb.
10:03: Speaker: Any minute now, it’s going to shoot away. I’m kind of curious to see if I can
catch that on camera. I’ve seen it twice where it’ll just… disappear in an instant at like
supersonic speed.
12:29: Speaker: Just don’t understand what that is.
13:23: Speaker: Okay, now we’re moving.
13:32: Speaker: Okay, it’s moving to the west… at a pretty decent speed.
13:53: Speaker: Looks like it’s got a… pretty good-sized beam coming off of it, too.
14:20: Speaker: Okay, it’s definitely moving towards me.
14:27: Speaker: Which is… very terrifying.
