FBI-UAP-D001, FD-302, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022

This document is an FBI FD-302 form, used to record interviews, released by the U.S. Department of War in a UAP records release. It summarizes an interview conducted via Microsoft Teams in March 2025 with a U.S. military service member concerning a February 2022 incident potentially involving UAP near Fort Carson, Colorado Springs. The interviewee described observing, along with four other soldiers from his unit, a 'bean-shaped,' 'matte white' or 'off-white,' apparently non-metallic object hovering motionless over a 'saddle' low point in Cheyenne Mountain around 1:00-2:00 PM on a clear early-February workday. The object bore a surface of intersecting lines or ridges forming an abstract polygon pattern, made no sound, and remained stationary relative to the mountain for 3-5 minutes before vanishing when the men briefly looked away. None had a phone to record it. The witnesses independently drew consistent depictions afterward. The interviewee stated he was contacted by AARO in early 2024 but not interviewed at that time. An FBI note states AARO has since conducted subsequent interviews to inform its analysis. The document is redacted and contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI.
