What the document says
This document is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FD-302, a form the FBI uses to record interviews. This FD-302 contains a summary of an interview with a U.S. military service member in March 2025 regarding a February 2022 incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The individual described the phenomenon as being “bean shaped,” “matte white” or “off-white” in color, with a surface covered in “intersecting lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern.” The individual described the phenomenon as “motionless” and that “no sound could be heard coming from it.” FBI Note: AARO has since been in contact with the interviewee to conduct subsequent interviews to inform its analysis of this incident.

observed the object for approximately 3-5 minutes, and it did not change its

pattern which covered the entire object. -
stated the object was about
the size of 10% of the saddl e of the mountains, or about the size of a pool
cue at arms-length .
None of the five men had a phone on them
They all simultaneously looked away
momentarily to decide to have one of them go back to the vehicle to get a
phone to take a video. When they loo ked back the obj ect had vanished. They
searched the western skyline but wer e not able find the object again.
■ They were all confused what they shoul d do next,
They got together afterwards to di scuss what
they had seen. They wondered if they had seen a UAP, and went through the
alternatives it could have been, such as a blimp or a weather balloon. Each
of them independently drew what they remembered the object to look like, and

abstract lines crossing on it. -
