U.S. test site (specific location redacted)

In September 2023 at around 9:00 AM, a group of U.S. persons driving east in a three-vehicle convoy to a test site for LiDAR data acquisition observed a bright white light over the horizon. The light was stationary, then moved to the right, and disappeared within ten seconds; one witness estimated it was ten to twenty miles away and noticed no interference with his vehicle. An FBI Special Agent conducted an FD-302 interview via FaceTime in October 2023. One witness thought the light might have been a meteor coming straight toward them and burning up in the atmosphere.
