In PURSUE-RELEASE-01 serial 4, what did the contractor drone pilot report during the LiDAR mission?

Generated answer

According to the FBI FD-302 documented in PURSUE-RELEASE-01 serial 4, the redacted contractor drone pilot reported seeing a linear object with a super-bright white light on its east side while the convoy of vehicles paused at a gate around 7:30 AM. The object was metallic gray in color, had no wings or exhaust, and was smaller than a 737 but larger than a drone, estimated at one to two Blackhawk helicopters in length. The object was approximately 5,000 feet above ground level and moved east to west parallel to the ground for five to ten seconds before the light went out and the object vanished [PURSUE-RELEASE-01/4]. The document further notes that the object maintained the same size and light intensity throughout the observation, and the witness could not locate it again after it disappeared. The witness reported being annoyed upon first seeing the object because the airspace had been restricted for the LiDAR drone tests the group was traveling to conduct. A colleague in the second vehicle attempted unsuccessfully to get another person to see the object. The witness also reported having trouble sleeping and experiencing weird dreams for the first two nights following the sighting [PURSUE-RELEASE-01/4].
