Executive Sumrna1y .\nThis memorandum presents the first-hand naiTative from Witness 3 provided to the All­\ndomain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 3 was one of several United States (U.S.)\nfederal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous\nphenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States.\n2. Witness Na1rntive.\nill response to AARO 's request to provide a free-fo1m naiTative of the sequence of events\nexactly as they remember them, Witness 3 submitted the following text:\n\"ill mid-Oct 2023, I was with agents from our office at our work location. We were out of the\noffice conducting work related activities. Traveling and working with one other agent, at\napproximately 1900, roughly dusk with a cleai· sky, I was looking east when I saw a large orange\norb in the sky seemingly coming in my direction. I recall my paitner asking, \"are you seeing\nthis?\" I couldn't tell how large the orb was because I could not dete1mine how far away it was. I\nrecall that it was alternating between cleai· and orange with maybe two or three seconds in each\ncolored cycle. When it was orange, the outline was well defined, but when it was clear, it did not\nseem to disappeai· as I vaguely recall still being able to see an outline of the orb although it was\ncleai·. ill tenns of speed, I'd estimate the orb moved approximately 20 degrees in the sky in\nabout three to five seconds. When the orb was at approximately 45 degrees (halfway between\nthe horizon and directly overhead), it expelled three smaller red orbs. The expulsion appeared to\nbe mechanical. The red orbs then moved to the south in a straight line spaced about one second\napart, also at 45 degrees (from directly overhead to the horizon) until I could no longer see them.\nI did not pay attention to what the orange orb was doing after it released the red orbs. However,\nI don 't recall seeing it any longer. I do not recall any sound associated with what I saw. Also,\nthere were no exhaust trails coming from either the orange or the red orbs. Although I could not\ntell how lai·ge the orange orb was, the red orbs were a lot smaller than the orange orb.\nCompai·atively, I'd say the red orbs were like grapes being expelled from a basketball. The time\nfraine for this explanation was maybe 30-45 seconds.\nill a second occunence, also in mid-Oct 2023, either the same night or the next night, I was out\nwith my paitner again but at a different location. It was nearing full darkness, so I'd say the time\nwas probably ~2000-2030 and the sky was cleai·. I was using NVGs to scan the sky when I saw\n1\nUNCLASSIFIED"

   "text": "UNCLASSIFIED\nred lights coming from the north, heading south. Their speed was difficult to gauge but I’d say\nthey moved from right to left in my vision in about five to ten seconds covering roughly 90\ndegrees across the sky. These four red lights stopped above an airfield and hovered in what\nappeared to be a square over each corner of the airfield. At about the same time, looking south, I\nalso observed orange orbs (possibly two) coming from the same direction (east) I saw the first\norange orb (in the para above). They seemed to be hovering near a slope of a west facing\nridgeline as the four smaller red orbs hovered over the airfield. I don’t recall if the orange orbs\nreleased red orbs in the same manner the first orange orb did. Looking back toward the four\nhovering red lights, I noticed what appeared to be a vehicle down below me and my partner. We\nwere sitting higher up on a road that sloped upward so the vehicle was below us. As the red\nlights hovered, the vehicle was flashing its headlights at a slow, methodical tempo, possibly two-\nthree seconds between switching off and on. Again, I don’t recall there being any sound\nassociated with any of this. My partner and I decided to speed down the hill toward the vehicle\nas it seemed evident that it was involved with whatever was happening over the airfield and with\nthe other light orbs. I turned off the lights in our vehicle to hide our approach. (I used NVGs to\ndrive down the road.) The vehicle appeared to be sitting still, and I recall my heart beating\nheavily as we approached it. As we approached the vehicle, its lights remained on. As we\napproached, it seemed like we could get no closer than what seemed to be about 100 yards away\nso it seemed like the vehicle was responding to our approach. As we thought we would overtake\nthe vehicle, it managed to keep its distance from us. Just as we thought we were at the closest\npoint, the vehicle then seemingly floated off the road to the south, across rough terrain. There\nwere no roads and later we searched for tire tracks but didn’t find anything. We stopped where\nwe thought the vehicle had originally been and saw it out in the brush in the rough terrain with a\nsingle light on. The light then faded out and we didn’t see it anymore. At that point, we were\nfixed on the vehicle so I didn’t notice the lights any longer. I am not sure what they did as we\ntried to catch up with the vehicle. When the vehicle was gone, so were the orbs. The time frame\nfor this occurrence was about 2-3 minutes.”\nJon T. Kosloski\nDirector, AARO\n2\nUNCLASSIFIED"
