1. Executive Summary.

This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 4 provided to the All-
domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 4 was one of several United States (U.S.)
federal law enforcement special agents who reported observing unidentified anomalous
phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023 in the western United States.

2. Witness Narrative.

In response to AARO’s request to provide a free-form narrative of the sequence of events
exactly as they remember them, Witness 4 submitted the following text:

“Sometime in October 2023, just after sunset (7PM), I saw a bright ball of light like a shooting
star beam across and over a hillside. The light was approximately 1-2k above ground level, was
orange/yellow and white in color and appeared for about a second or two. I was approximately
less than a quarter of a mile from the hillside, and the ball of light seem very close to me as if it
was a shooting star coming towards the hillside, toward and not away from me. The colors of
the light went from amber to orange, slightly yellow and white in that order. No other lights
were seen, nor did I hear any mechanical buzzing or anything like an aircraft at this time and
kept driving. After about 10 minutes I saw with my naked eye multiple singular bright orange
lights/orbs of various brightness, size and distance. Using my night vision goggles (NVGs) I
saw the same lights in addition to multiple other lights. Some of the lights seen with NVG’s
were organized in a line of three, evenly spaced and at various altitudes, horizontally just above
the skyline. Most of the lights were only visible for approx. 1-2 seconds before disappearing.
Later, I observed multiple singular very bright orange lights that appeared to shoot out smaller
orange lights as if being hatched from the larger very bright orange light. The hatching occurred
multiple times, I lost track after five occurrences. The smaller lights seemed to travel
downwards like a falling flare. Soon thereafter I saw nine lights formed a horizontal line just
above a ridgeline. The lights were static, not moving, evenly spaced apart and were visible for
30+ seconds. Smaller lights then appeared below and to the left and right of the line of nine
lights. These smaller lights seemed to cluster (almost touching) in a combination of three. The
lights soon disappeared only to appear again directly behind me. All these observations occurred
within a 2-3 hour span, nonstop.

The next day between 7-9pm I saw the same light phenomenon; however, I also saw what
appeared to be chemtrails approx. 10 finger lengths from the highest…
