This is a redacted FBI form FD-1057 (electronic communication) documenting a 2024 forensic sketch interview, conducted at 26 Federal Plaza, New York, of a witness to the same Cheyenne Mountain object recorded in FBI-UAP-D001. A Special Agent and an Operational Projects Unit (OPU) forensic artist interviewed the witness, described as a former US Army intelligence officer, to produce a forensic recreation of the object; an initial sketch draft is enclosed.

Key excerpts

“The object was "potato" shaped with distinct edges and appeared to look painted in a creamy/whitish opalescent color. It was somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer. The object was made up of what can best be described as articulating fish scales or panels that were non-symmetrical, non-overlapping, and irregular shaped. (p. 2)”
“After approximately two minutes, the object vanished. [redacted] specifically stated that the object "cloaked" in the space of time it took to turn a head and there was no shadow. (p. 2)”
