USPER Statement about UAP Sighting

Summary

This is a classified FBI witness statement from late 2025 describing a multi-hour aerial search mission over a U.S. mountain range, during which senior U.S. intelligence officials aboard a state partner helicopter repeatedly observed unexplained orbs and swarms of lights. The document records a detailed timeline of sightings observed with the naked eye, night vision goggles, and forward-looking infrared (FLIR) cameras, involving multiple witnesses and coordination with military aircraft.

Key Findings

• 1A ground-based observation post tracked an orb under FLIR thermal imaging, describing it as 'super-hot' while hovering at ground level; the orb then split into two separate objects and accelerated away at a speed the helicopter could not match.
• 2The helicopter's co-pilot observed under night vision goggles something emerge from the two split objects and travel away in a different direction at high speed.
• 3Two large oval-shaped, orange-colored orbs with white or yellow centers appeared within close proximity to the helicopter — above the rotor disk — and were seen by both the naked eye and NVGs before additional orbs sequentially flared into view below them, totaling four or five, then faded out in reverse order.
• 4Between approximately 2218 and 2257 hours, the crew observed at least six separate orb formation events in different directions, including a triangle formation, horizontal formations over military aircraft, and a swarm of lights too numerous to count moving in all directions.
• 5Witness 1, a senior U.S. intelligence official, noted that the orbs appeared to break away from the helicopter and pursue the military aircraft that had arrived on scene, and that many sightings occurred above the helicopter's FLIR camera angle, limiting recorded evidence.
