cigar shaped object with an extremely bright light southwest of them
approximately 500 to 3000 feet above the nearest tree line (agent note: the
tree line was approximately one mile south west of [JEEE rosition). The
object was already there when she looked up. The object was almost hovering,
slowly moving from east to west. The light was an intense diamond white
light with what appeared to be a ring around the light and was located on
the eastern end of the object. The light was pointing south east and looking
at it (the light) was like looking into the sun. The object was “metallic
bronze in color” and was the length of two or three Blackhawk helicopters
lined up nose to tail. The width of the object was approximately the width
of one and a half Blackhawks but was hard to determine due the light on the
object’s eastern end which may have been obscuring part of the body. The
object was completely silent.
(/B B - iritially annoyed when she saw the object because she
had restricted the ranges for the tests they were going to conduct that
morning but then she realized the object was not an aircraft or drone.
I inched her vehicle forward while she and | vwatched the
object. They watched the object for five to ten seconds and then the object
just disappeared. The sky was clear with no clouds and the object did leave
any contrails. [N 2~ I scarched the sky but did not see the
object again. [ did not notice any interference with her vehicle’s
engine while the object was visible. She only observed the one object and
felt it left when it saw them.
(/B B c:ove to the test site where [l Il vwho was a passenger
in the second vehicle said he saw the object too.
(/B B ould not have reported the object if she had seen it by
herself. Several of her co-workers subsequently made fun of her due to her
report.

contractors. | had seen most of the aircraft and drones used by the
US military during her fifteen years working at [ ] B 2rc had
