FBI-UAP-D007, FD-1057-06, Northeastern United States, 2024
This heavily redacted FBI FD-1057 form records first-hand observations made by two FBI special agents during an ongoing investigation in November 2024 in the northeastern United States. According to the document, agents visited the home of a witness who had previously provided reports and video of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) over the prior three years. At approximately 4:45pm agents went to a patio on the north side of the home; about twenty minutes later a special agent observed a white pulsation of light that moved horizontally with erratic movements near a tree line, appearing at or below tree-top height, dancing side to side for under ten seconds before disappearing. Additional white/blue pulsing lights and plumes of broad light followed by red or white flashes were observed near the tree line. Agents attempted to photograph the activity but the five photos were mostly blurry due to long camera exposure without a stable tripod. Around 5:30pm two agents observed a bright white light above a bright red light hovering at tree-top height at the far end of a pond, moving quickly right to left, disappearing and reappearing. Agents observed activity until approximately 6:10pm and departed at 6:15pm. The file is one of a set (FBI-UAP-D004 through D008) with related video footage (FBI-UAP-PR001 through PR003) originating from the same general area. Released by the U.S. Department of War on June 12, 2026.
