What was reported

FBI electronic communication recording two Special Agents' own patio surveillance of a residence on 11 November 2024, following the resident's earlier UAP reports. Agents saw a pulsating white light move erratically near the tree line, other white/blue pulsing lights along the tree line, and later a bright white light above a red light that hovered, moved quickly side to side and vanished. Photos taken were mostly blurry; agents concluded a tripod was needed for clear images.

Why this rating Single sensor type (unaided visual plus blurry stills) even though the observers are FBI agents; no radar/FLIR corroboration, no measured altitude/speed, and the agents themselves note the photos are inconclusive.
