What was reported
Surviving continuation page of a third FD-302 witness statement from the same 1 September 2023 event, describing a male witness (a passenger in the convoy) who saw the object through the gate area, said it stayed the same size and light intensity throughout, and noticed no vehicle interference. The Serial 004 witness tried unsuccessfully to get this witness's attention to look at it. Notably, this witness reported lingering after-effects that night: a hotel TV losing signal during a storm, checking other hotel TVs out of unease, and difficulty sleeping and unsettling dreams for two nights afterward.

Why this rating Only the continuation page survives with no description of the object's shape or appearance; it functions mainly as third-witness corroboration of duration and lack of vehicle interference, plus an unverifiable claim of a coincidental hotel TV outage during a storm the same night.
