Transparent Kite
Document coverPage 1 of Western US Event · View original on war.gov
Federal law enforcement agents observed a kite-shaped object about 6 meters off the ground in the Western U.S. pre-dawn hours, displaying red and white lights and appearing partially transparent when viewed through night vision goggles, approximately 30 minutes after the Dark Kite sighting.
“About 30 minutes after the "Dark Kite" sighting, federal law enforcement special agents (USPER5 and USPER6) returned to the same general area with another colleague (USPER7) in response to a report of another unauthorized object in the area. Within a few hundred meters of the "Dark Kite" sighting, two of the team members (USPER5 and USPER6) observed a kite-shaped object with a lighting pattern similar to the object seen previously. This object is about 6 meters off the ground, is canted at an angle from lower right to upper left, and appeared to be floating slowly with the wind.”
