DoW-UAP-D083 is an AARO Memorandum for Record dated 02 June 2026, signed by AARO Director Jon T. Kosloski, presenting the verbatim, time-stamped first-person narrative of Witness 5 (p. 1).

Key excerpts

“I am certain I saw two red, smaller orbs release from the larger one going west [...] They were simultaneously released, moving away from the larger orb. The larger orb did not move during this time, and all lights were gone from every orb in about 10 seconds. (p. 2)”
“The red and white light pair hovered, with zero resistance, or change in height, over the bushes to the right at about 15-20 mph. [...] I saw the light pair for a split second in the NVGs before the lights turned off and I saw a very thin line remain, maybe 4 ft wide, horizontal to the earth. (pp. 2-3)”
