Previous eyewitness reports from personnel who observed orbs/lights IVO [COORDINATES] cited hearing thuds as if something has fallen and hit the ground. (Note: Earlier that day the [Office] completed a successful test of the [Facility] at [SITE CODE NAME] ([COORDINATES]) on [FACILITY].

At 1751 hours [CALL SIGN 1] spotted a large cavern entrance ([COORDINATES]) and conducted a short orbit of the location [LOCATION].

At approximately 2050 hours [CALL SIGN 1] landed west of the [LOCATION] mountains and dropped off [WITNESS 2] with [FEDERAL PARTNER 3] personnel. At 2052 hours [CALL SIGN 1] headed toward [SITE CODE NAME] to refuel. A second helicopter ([STATE PARTNER ORGANIZATION] – [CALL SIGN 2]) briefly landed at [SITE CODE NAME] to await refueling but then lifted off and returned to the [LOCATION].

At 2141 hours [CALL SIGN 1] lifted off from [SITE CODE NAME] and headed toward debris spotted by the Listening Post/Observation Post (LP/OP - [FEDERAL PARTNER 4] personnel using Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) and Night Vision Goggles (NVG)- position ([COORDINATES]) located approximately four miles east of [SITE CODE NAME] in the mountains [LOCATION] location ([COORDINATES))].
