FBI-UAP-D030, FD-302, “Large Triangle with Red Lights,” 2023
This file is an FBI FD-302 form — the standard record used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to document interviews. According to the releasing source, the form records an October 2025 interview with a U.S. Person who described a potential UAP incident over Colorado Springs, Colorado, in October 2023. The interviewee reported observing the night sky and noticing movement in the peripheral vision, ultimately seeing what appeared to be a dark object described as a large triangle with red lights. A companion FBI digital rendering based on the observer's description is filed under FBI-UAP-D031. The document contains redactions. The extractable text is fragmentary and partially garbled, but the source page context describes the file's nature and contents. The record was released 7 August 2026 via war.gov as part of release 5 of a UAP data set.
