1. Executive Summary.

This memorandum presents the first-hand narrative from Witness 5 provided to the All-
domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). Witness 5 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 5 submitted the following text:

“Fl October 2023
1. SA BB and myself, headed for the-Gate around 1630.

(?name). The road was unpaved and rough. There were signs saying to not sleep in vehicle when
we entered. About two miles into this road, there was a trailer, a white jeep wrangler, and an old

5. The sun was setting, but there was still sunlight to see the mountain formations. On this road,
ahead and slightly to our right, at 1858, we noticed a large orange light. Upon closer look, the
orange light appeared to be placed on something, although nothing could be identified to be
holding it up. It seemed to be hovering with zero resistance or movement, or to be suspended just
over a distinctive peak in the ridge line. I think the light lasted less than or about a minute, but it
was longer than just a flash of light.

7. Around 1918 we saw a large red orb at a further distance, facing North and slightly West, past
the peak of . I am certain I saw two red, smaller orbs release from the larger one going

west, towards . One released at a steady speed and horizontally. I also saw another small red orb
go up, but it may have had a slight angle. This orb was fainter, than the horizontal one
identified. They were simultaneously released, moving away from the larger orb. The larger orb
did not move during this time, and all lights were gone from every orb in about 10 seconds.
Either while the lights were on, or shortly…
