From the source: Release of 2026-05-08 Incident: 2023, Western United States. This document is a summary of statements by seven US PERSONs employed by the federal government who separately reported observing several unidentified anomalous phenomena in the western United States over the course of two days in 2023. The summary notes the US PERSONS reported four distinct categories of experiences, including observing “orbs launching other orbs” at a distance, observing a large stationary glowing orb at close estimated range, pursuing a large phenomenon near the ground, and observing a large, seemingly transparent phenomenon, reported to being akin to a “translucent kite.” Although there is no technical data directly associated with this report, contextual factors — such as these events sharing features with others reported to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the reporters’ credibility, and the potentially anomalous nature of the events themselves — combine to make this report among the most compelling within AARO’s current holdings.

“Orbs Launching Orbs”
• Location: Western U.S.
• Time of Day: Dusk (on two separate days)
• Three teams of two federal law enforcement special agents each (USPER1 through USPER6) independently
describe seeing orange “orbs” in the sky emit/launch smaller red “orbs” in groups of two to four, with three
being the general consensus. This is stated to have occurred at least five times. Each time, the orange orb
would appear, launch red orbs, then disappear. The orange orb was only visible for one or two seconds. The
red orbs would generally move away from the orange “mother” orb in a horizontal path, but in a couple of
instances, one red orb was stated to move “heading up at an angle,” while another witness stated sometimes
the red orbs would “swoop down” after being launched from the larger orange orb. These events were
witnessed by multiple teams from varying locations and vantage points over a two-day period. Due to the
sequential nature of the events, it is not known whether there was a single orange “mother” orb that released
the groups of red orbs or whether there were multiple orange orbs at play.
