Western US Event
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.
“Large, Fiery Orb” • Location: Western U.S. • Time of Day: Dusk • Two federal law enforcement special agents (USPER5 and USPER6) witness a glowing orange orb at a distance of “approximately 500-600 meters,”* where it was perched close to a rock pinnacle. Size was difficult to determine, but it appeared to be similar in size to a “small helicopter cockpit.”** Witnesses were unable to clearly see any structure other than the glowing orb, though USPER6 noted that the object “did almost appear it might have had a small spindle or something connecting it from underneath to the rock formation.” Witnesses stated that the object did not emit any noticeable sound. The object was described as being “similar to the Eye or [sic] Sauron from Lord of the Rings, except without the pupil, or maybe an orange Storm Electrify bowling ball.” • USPER6 stated the object “seemed to be hovering with zero resistance or movement, or to be suspended…” The sighting lasted “about a minute.” * Measurements later gathered by AARO assess the object to have been ~1050 meters away from the observers. ** Measurements later gathered by AARO assess the object to have been between 12-18 meters in diameter.
