FBI-UAP-D026, FD-302, “Dark Translucent Triangle,” 2023
According to the U.S. Department of War source page page hosting this metadata, this file is an FBI FD-302 form — the standard form the Federal Bureau of Investigation uses to record interviews. The releasing agency states the form documents a January 2026 FBI interview with a former Department of War employee, who described an incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) that occurred in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in October 2023. The interviewee reported observing anomalous stars in the night sky from the porch of their residence. The document is partially redacted. Per the source page, an accompanying FBI digital rendering based on the observer's description is filed separately as FBI-UAP-D027. The file itself is a low-resolution thumbnail image of the interview transcript, released as part of the Department of War's UAP records release 5 on August 7, 2026.
