DOW-UAP-D078, Notional Map: Western United States Event

This image is a notional (illustrative, not-to-scale) representation released by the U.S. Department of War depicting four UAP incidents reportedly witnessed by U.S. federal law enforcement special agents over a period of several days in October 2023 in the western United States, shown from an aerial perspective. Incident 1 ('Orbs Launching Orbs') describes agents observing an orange 'mother orb' launching smaller red orbs. Incident 2 ('Fiery Orb') describes a large fiery orb projected against a ridgeline at roughly 1,000 yards. Incident 3 ('Dark Kite') describes a thin or dark kite-shaped object with one red and one white light at close range. Incident 4 ('Translucent Kite') describes a translucent kite-shaped object at close range. A note states all images were artificially generated using genai.mil, phenomena are enlarged and not to relative scale, and all locations are notional and do not accurately represent the positions of observers or reported phenomena.
