Western United States Event, 2023
A digital rendering commissioned by the Department of War and produced by the FBI, this image visualizes a two-day UAP incident near a sensitive national security site in the western U.S., as described firsthand by a federal law enforcement special agent. It's a rare case of one agency formally illustrating another's field report — suggesting the underlying account in DOW-UAP-D079 was considered detailed and credible enough to warrant that effort. The proximity to a sensitive site is what gives this one weight.
