The Department of War lists the originating agency as the FBI, with an incident date of October 2023 and a location described as the western United States.[^1][^2]\n\n<img src=\"https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/061226/release_03/documents/FBI-UAP-D020_Digital-Rendering_Incident-2-5_Western-US-Event_2023.jpg\" alt=\"FBI-UAP-D020, Digital Rendering, Narrative Statement 2-5, Western United States Event, 2023\" className=\"my-4 overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-border/50\" />\n\n## A Rendering, Not a Recording\n\nThe release describes this image as an artistic interpretation of a reported incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States, involving unidentified anomalous phenomena over a period of two days in October 2023. The FBI prepared the rendering in 2026 at the request of the Department of War; it is an illustrative reconstruction, not imagery captured during the encounter.[^3]\n\n## Basis in Agent Testimony\n\nThe rendering is based upon a first-hand description provided by a federal law enforcement special agent, as described in DOW-UAP-D080. The \"2-5\" designation in the title appears to index this image within the broader set of visualizations produced for that agent's narrative statement.\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nFBI-UAP-D020 is a government visualization of witness testimony, not a sensor recording or photograph of the phenomenon. It does not identify the object observed, and the two-day western United States event remains unidentified and unresolved.\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n\n[^2]: [Department of War PURSUE data file (uap-data.csv)](https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-data.csv)\n[^3]: [FBI-UAP-D020, Digital Rendering, Narrative Statement 2-5, Western United States Event, 2023 remote release asset](https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/061226/release_03/documents/FBI-UAP-D020_Digital-Rendering_Incident-2-5_Western-US-Event_2023.jpg)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-03-053-fbi-uap-d020-digital-rendering-narrative-statement-2-5-western-united","title":"FBI-UAP-D020, Digital Rendering, Narrative Statement 2-5, Western United States Event, 2023","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-03-053-fbi-uap-d020-digital-rendering-narrative-statement-2-5-western-united","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
