Short overview
An FBI FD-302 interview record from March 2024 with a former U.S. military pilot, covering sightings in 2023 and 2024 and one recalled from Afghanistan in 2002.
Why this is interesting
The interviewee described lights repeatedly seen by pilots between midnight and 3 a.m. starting in October 2023, including one observation on a Boston–Dublin flight at 37,000 feet, with the lights judged to be higher still. His own reasoning is part of the record: the lights resembled aircraft landing lights, and he explains why he did not think that was the explanation. The FBI digital rendering FBI-UAP-D025 was drawn from this account.
Selected passages
- “The lights were white in color, would start out as dim, and get brighter before they eventually faded out”
