FBI-UAP-D032, FD-302, “Slow-moving Objects,” 2026

This file is an FBI FD-302 form — the standard form the Federal Bureau of Investigation uses to record interviews — capturing a 2026 interview with a U.S. Government Special Agent about a possible unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) incident in the western United States. According to the document, at approximately time 1604 (about 4:00 PM local) the interviewee was alerted to an RF detection at roughly 10,000 feet MSL for 5–10 seconds, and further communication requested observation at a bearing of 58 degrees. Using a thermal optical device, the interviewee reported seeing a black object in the sky that was not moving fast, then a second object to its right; both appeared 'black hot' and moved together at the same speed above the mountain line, traveling southeast (roughly 58 to 62 degrees) before passing out of view after a total observation time of about 5–10 minutes. The interviewee took photographs and video with the optical device and was reportedly the only person at the location to see the objects, and was unable to estimate the objects' altitude or speed. The document is heavily redacted and states it contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI. It was released by the U.S. Department of War on August 7, 2026, and is accompanied by video footage titled FBI-UAP-PR007.
