October 2023·western United States·FBI·unresolved
The witness observed one light source above a southeast ridgeline that produced four smaller lights traveling downward, with three forming a horizontal line and one traveling westward.
“Shortly thereafter, I saw what appeared to be one light source just above the Southeast ridgeline. The lights seemed to produce four smaller lights which traveled downward as the main light source disappeared. Three of the smaller lights seemed to form a horizontal line while the fourth traveled westward and away from the line of three.”
