DOW-UAP-D079, Narrative Statement 1, Western United States Event, 2023

Short overview

This 2 June 2026 memorandum contains the first-person narrative Witness 1 provided to AARO. Witness 1 was one of the special agents who reported UAP-related observations over two days in October 2023 in the western United States. The passage is a personal recollection and should be kept separate from AARO’s analytical assessment.

Why this is interesting

• Preserves the raw account of an involved observer.
• Describes repeated orange and red lights with accompanying flashes.
• Includes a later close-range description of dust, web-like material, and a hard-to-define object.
• The direct text has minor OCR errors but remains readable.
