Approach road through gated access (location redacted)

This FBI FD-302 interview report, entered in October 2023, documents a September 2023 UAP sighting by multiple witnesses who were traveling by vehicle to a test site to collect LiDAR data. At approximately 9:00 AM, the lead witness — driving a GMC AT4 with a passenger — observed a bright white, stationary light on the horizon while heading east. The light then began moving to the right before disappearing after approximately ten seconds. It remained the same apparent size throughout. The witness estimated the object was ten to twenty miles away. No vehicle interference was reported. A passenger in the AT4 looked in the wrong direction and missed the light, partly due to their seating position. Upon arrival at the first test site, at least two other members of the group independently confirmed they had also seen the light. The witness speculated the light may have been a meteor approaching head-on and burning up in the atmosphere. The interview was conducted via FaceTime video by FBI Special Agents. All names, specific locations, file numbers, and drafting agent identities are redacted in the source document.
