Short overview
This image is a notional overhead representation of four reported incidents in the western United States. The illustration refers to reports by U.S. federal law-enforcement special agents over several days in October 2023. It is explicitly not to scale and artificially generated, so it is a depiction of reported scenes rather than evidentiary imagery.
Why this is interesting
- Visualizes the four incident descriptions in a schematic map.
- Labels the representation as notional and not to scale.
- Includes reported terms such as “fiery orb,” “Dark Kite,” and “Translucent Kite.”
- The direct text is partly layout/OCR-noisy, but the cautions are clear.
Selected passages

- p. 1: The illustration depicts multiple incidents reported by special agents over several days in October 2023.
