Western United States Event, 2023
A federal law enforcement agent's firsthand account of a two-day UAP encounter near a sensitive national security site gets translated into visual form here — the FBI's own digital rendering of what the witness described seeing in October 2023. The image was produced at the Department of War's request, making it an unusually formal collaboration between agencies around a single witness report. Cross-referenced with DOW-UAP-D079, this record is worth examining alongside its source narrative to see how the visual interpretation matches the written account.
