Western U.S. Event, Witness 2 Narrative

October 20238 pp.Confidence: HIGHhigh

DoW-UAP-D080 is an AARO Memorandum for Record dated 02 June 2026, signed by AARO Director Jon T. Kosloski, presenting the verbatim and most detailed first-person narrative in the cluster, that of Witness 2 (p. 1).

Key excerpts

“As the bright orb-like light grew larger, it expelled three or four red lights from it. The red lights accelerated instantly and maneuvered with perfect, smooth coordination into a horizontal formation. (p. 1)”
“All the objects did appear significantly technologically advanced, and their behavior was inconsistent with physics. The triangle/red lights over the horizon were reminiscent of the Phoenix lights event/incident in the 1990s. (p. 3)”
“The video footage captures some of it, but more valuable is the audio of our reactions. (p. 4)”
