FBI-UAP-D018, Digital Rendering, Narrative Statement 2-3, Western United States Event, 2023

According to the releasing agency, this JPEG image is an artistic interpretation of a reported incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a two-day period in October 2023. The rendering is based on a first-hand description provided by a federal law enforcement special agent, as documented in the paired narrative statement DOW-UAP-D080. The Federal Bureau of Investigation prepared the digital rendering at the request of the Department of War in 2026. The image's alt text describes two figures watching an object in the sky. As an artistic rendering rather than a photograph, the file represents an interpretive visualization of a witness account rather than direct visual evidence.
