“Large, Fiery Orb”
•   Location: Western U.S.
•   Time of Day: Dusk                                                                           Artist Rendering

•   Two federal law enforcement special agents (USPER5 and USPER6) witness a glowing orange orb at a distance of
    “approximately 500-600 meters,”* where it was perched close to a rock pinnacle. Size was difficult to determine,
    but it appeared to be similar in size to a “small helicopter cockpit.”** Witnesses were unable to clearly see any
    structure other than the glowing orb, though USPER6 noted that the object “did almost appear it might have had a
    small spindle or something connecting it from underneath to the rock formation.” Witnesses stated that the object
    did not emit any noticeable sound. The object was described as being “similar to the Eye or [sic] Sauron from Lord
    of the Rings, except without the pupil, or maybe an orange Storm Electrify bowling ball.”
•   USPER6 stated the object “seemed to be hovering with zero resistance or movement, or to be suspended…” The
    sighting lasted “about a minute.”

* Measurements later gathered by AARO assess the object to have been ~1050 meters away from the observers.
** Measurements later gathered by AARO assess the object to have been between 12-18 meters in diameter.
