Dark Kite
Document coverPage 1 of Western US Event · View original on war.gov
Two federal law enforcement agents observed an object with red and white lights initially thought to be a car in a restricted zone, which moved laterally off-road at 15-20 mph without changing orientation, later described as a dark kite-shaped or triangular object visible through night vision goggles.
“Two federal law enforcement special agents (USPER5 and USPER6) observed what is initially thought to be a car traveling along a road in a restricted zone. The "car" had two lights (one red and one white) that are about 2 to 3 feet off the ground. Agents pursued the "car" and as they got to within a few hundred feet of it, the object suddenly moved off the road over the desert without changing its orientation with respect to the observers.”
