October 2023·western United States·FBI·unresolved
The witness observed a very bright, steady white light below a ridgeline that disappeared from the right field of view as an equally bright light appeared on the left at eye level.
“At some point I saw a very bright, white light appear just below a ridgeline. It was steady and did not pulse or hatch smaller lights. At first, it looked like a star; however, it was big, very bright and looked like it was in front of and just below a ridgeline from my eyelevel.”
