Generated answer

According to the FBI FD-302 documented in PURSUE-RELEASE-01/4, 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 in September 2023. The object was metallic gray in color, had no wings or exhaust, and was smaller than a 737 but approximately one to two Blackhawk helicopters in length. The witness estimated it was at approximately 5,000 feet above ground level, moving east to west parallel to the ground [PURSUE-RELEASE-01/4]. The object was visible for five to ten seconds before the light went out and the object vanished. The sky was clear but the witness could not locate the object again. The document notes that the object stayed the same size and maintained the same light intensity throughout the observation, and no interference with the vehicles was detected. The witness was initially annoyed upon seeing the object because the airspace had been restricted for the LiDAR drone tests the group was traveling to conduct [PURSUE-RELEASE-01/4]. The document also records that the witness had trouble sleeping for the first two nights after the sighting and experienced weird dreams [PURSUE-RELEASE-01/4].
