The release description says the overlay depicts corroborating eyewitness reports of an object that appeared from a bright light, measured approximately 130-195 feet long, and disappeared instantaneously.[^1]\n\n## Reconstruction, Not Analysis\n\nThis record is not an FBI interview transcript, raw sensor capture, or analytic finding. It is a visual reconstruction tied to a reported September 2023 sighting. The PDF contains no embedded narrative text, no named witnesses, no measurement method, and no independent explanation for the reported appearance or disappearance. Its evidentiary value is limited to documenting how the FBI Lab represented the eyewitness accounts in a release asset.\n\n## Witness Claims Made Visual\n\nThe sketch matters because it is the release's visual anchor for a contemporary FBI UAP report: it translates witness descriptions into a specific scale, shape, color, and setting without resolving what the witnesses saw. That makes the record useful for comparing release metadata with any accompanying FBI 302 material, while keeping the sketch separate from a factual determination about the object's nature.\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE Release 01 page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n[^2]: [FBI September 2023 Sighting - Composite Sketch PDF](https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_1/2024-04-30-composite-sketch.pdf)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-01-158-fbi-september-2023-sighting-composite-sketch","title":"FBI September 2023 Sighting Composite Sketch","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-01-158-fbi-september-2023-sighting-composite-sketch","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
