The official record

Official summary, as published

This document is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FD-302, a form the FBI uses to record interviews. This FD-302 contains a summary of an interview with a U.S. military service member in March 2025 regarding a February 2022 incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The individual described the phenomenon as being “bean shaped,” “matte white” or “off-white” in color, with a surface covered in “intersecting lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern.” The individual described the phenomenon as “motionless” and that “no sound could be heard coming from it.” FBI Note: AARO has since been in contact with the interviewee to conduct subsequent interviews to inform its analysis of this incident.

Our reading

READ FIRST

FBI interview of a soldier who, with four others from his unit at Fort Carson, watched a motionless, matte off-white "bean-shaped" object over a saddle of Cheyenne Mountain in February 2022, covered in an abstract polygon pattern. It was gone when they looked back after deciding to fetch a phone. Their separate drawings matched. Read with FBI-UAP-D002 (potato shape, shifting panels) and ICA-UAP-D001 (a low-confidence sunlight-backscatter assessment); the three records give different times of day.

Three separate measures, each with its reason. They are never added into a score.

E Evidence 2 of 3

Five soldiers watched the object for 3 to 5 minutes and each drew it independently; the drawings matched. No photo or video.

N Novelty 3 of 3

Judged from the file: a March 2025 FBI interview on a 2022 sighting; a web search found coverage only after this release.

L Linkage 2 of 3

Names AARO, which contacted the witness in early 2024 but, he says, never interviewed him.
