FD-302, “Slow-moving Objects,” 2026

FBI FD-302 recording a 2026 interview of a U.S. Government Special Agent with private-pilot experience. He was alerted to an RF detection (an unknown 90-burst signal at roughly 10,000 ft MSL, lasting 5-10 seconds, with an unknown bearing) and directed to observe at bearing 58 degrees. Using a thermal optical device, he located a slow-moving black object, then a second object beside it moving at the same speed; he photographed and video-recorded both over roughly 5-10 minutes before losing them beyond a mountain line. He could not estimate altitude or speed and was the only person at his location to use the optic.

Why this rating This case combines an automated RF sensor alert with independent thermal-optical imaging by a single witness (two sensor modalities), which supports more than a bare single-sensor case, but only one observer used the optic, no altitude/speed could be estimated, and video/photos exist but were not available as text in this file, so the case is not rated strong.

  FBI-UAP-PR007, "Slow-moving Objects," 2026

  A hand-held thermal-optical video captured by a U.S. government special agent during a 2026 incident in the western United States, per the paired FD-302 (FBI-UAP-D032, heavily redacted). That FD-302 records that the operator was alerted to an RF detection at an unspecified bearing, then used a thermal optical device to look toward the cued bearing (58 degrees) and observed a black object moving slowly, then a second object to its right moving at the same speed; both appeared "black hot" on the thermal device, observed for roughly 5-10 minutes before moving out of view. The blurb describes the footage as showing two slow-moving "black-hot" areas of contrast visible in infrared imaging, matching the FD-302.

  An automated RF detection system flagged an unknown 90-burst signal shortly before the witness visually and thermally confirmed two black objects moving together.
