This record is an FBI Electronic Communication (form FD-1057, Rev. 5-8-10), designated FBI-UAP-D007, documenting first-hand observations of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon made by three FBI Special Agents during a site visit to a private residence in the Northeastern United States in November 2024. The document was released as part of PURSUE Release 03 on June 12, 2026, by the Department of War. 12
Provenance and Chain of Custody
FBI-UAP-D007 is an Official Record produced on an FD-1057 form, the standard FBI instrument for documenting investigative activity in the field. The record bears an Official Record designation and is dated November 2024, with the precise day redacted. It was produced during an ongoing FBI investigation, the case number of which has been withheld from disclosure. The document was released in its current redacted form through the Department of War's PURSUE program as part of Release 03, published June 12, 2026. 3
The agency's official description notes that the subject matter described in files FBI-UAP-D004 through FBI-UAP-D008, and depicted in video footage FBI-UAP-PR001 through FBI-UAP-PR003, corresponds to reports originating from the same general area in the Northeastern United States. FBI-UAP-D007 therefore represents one installment in a multi-document investigative series focused on a recurring phenomenon in a specific geographic locale, the exact identity of which remains redacted.
Document Contents and Structure
The FD-1057 runs to multiple pages. Pages covering numbered content sections 11 through 28 are entirely redacted and withheld. The specific location of the observations, the identities of all personnel involved, the case identification number, the complete synopsis section, and the substance of enclosures 6 through 10 are all withheld. Five photographic enclosures -- taken by Special Agents in the field -- are referenced and partially available, but the photographs are acknowledged in the record itself to be mostly blurry and of limited contextual value. The date is partially redacted, showing only "11/[REDACTED]/2024."
These redactions are significant. They prevent independent verification of the location, limit the ability to cross-reference personnel with other records, and obscure the full analytical conclusions the document may contain. What remains is primarily a chronological narrative of observations recorded during a single site visit.
The Site Visit
In November 2024, three Special Agents -- all identities redacted -- conducted a site visit to the home of a private individual, whose name is also redacted, at a location in the Northeastern United States. The purpose of the visit was to confirm reports and review video documentation the homeowner had previously provided to the FBI concerning UAP observations spanning the prior three years. This detail -- three years of prior observations at the same residence -- indicates the homeowner had an established reporting relationship with the FBI before this field visit occurred.
Conditions at the time of observation were overcast, with an approximate temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit and no precipitation. The official sunset time is redacted from the record.
Chronological Observations
The agents and the homeowner moved to a patio on the north side of the residence at approximately 4:45 PM. The homeowner directed their attention to lights in the distance he identified as distant homes and permanent structures, and to additional lights he believed to be approximately eight miles away. The agents could not definitively identify the nature or source of those more distant light sources.
At approximately 5:05 PM, roughly twenty minutes after beginning outdoor observation, one Special Agent observed what was believed to be a UAP. In the direction of a redacted location, a white pulsation of light appeared at the northern edge of another redacted location and began moving horizontally with erratic movement. The record notes two significant observational details: the light did not reflect off water surfaces, suggesting the light source was positioned over wooded terrain to the north rather than over water; and the light failed to illuminate the area below it or the water surface itself. The white light appeared to be at or below tree-line altitude, exhibited side-to-side movement for less than ten seconds, then disappeared entirely.
Within the tree line to the west of the home, additional lights were observed on multiple occasions during the same general timeframe. One Special Agent repeatedly observed white lights appearing at the top of the tree line, which would pulse and flash with white and blue hues before disappearing. These lights did not exhibit the erratic movement of the first observation and appeared more stationary. A separate Special Agent observed broad plumes of light appearing for several seconds, followed by a flash in either red or white, which then moved erratically before disappearing.
One Special Agent attempted to photograph the observed UAP activity, producing five photographs attached to the communication. The record is candid that the photographs were mostly blurry and provided limited contextual clarity. The agents noted that future documentation attempts would require a tripod or other stabilization platform, as the long exposure settings required by the camera aperture made handheld photography ineffective under these conditions.
At approximately 5:15 PM, two additional individuals arrived at the residence. The agents and homeowner briefly went inside to meet them before returning to the patio.
The most significant joint observation occurred at approximately 5:30 PM. Two Special Agents simultaneously observed what they believed to be a UAP at the same location where the first agent had previously made an observation. This object appeared as a bright white light positioned above a bright red light, located at the far end of a pond, hovering at approximately tree-top height. The object moved quickly from right to left, disappeared, then simultaneously re-appeared at its original location, moved quickly from right to left again, and disappeared a second time. Both agents witnessed this sequence.
The agents and homeowner remained on the patio and in the backyard observing UAP activity until approximately 6:10 PM, at which point they went inside to download the most recent photos and videos the homeowner had recorded of activity behind his residence. The agents discontinued surveillance and departed the property at approximately 6:15 PM. Total outdoor observation time was approximately ninety minutes.
Context Within the FBI UAP Series
The official agency description situates this document within a broader investigative series spanning FBI-UAP-D004 through FBI-UAP-D008. The clustering of these records under a shared geographic area suggests the FBI has been conducting a sustained, multi-visit investigation into recurring UAP activity at or near this location, with the homeowner serving as a long-term reporting source. The prior three years of homeowner-reported observations, combined with the apparent ongoing investigation, indicate this site visit was not an isolated response to a single complaint.
The existence of associated video footage (FBI-UAP-PR001 through FBI-UAP-PR003) released in the same PURSUE package suggests the homeowner's prior documentation was deemed sufficiently significant to warrant field verification by multiple agents.
What The Record Supports
This record establishes that three FBI Special Agents visited a private residence in the Northeastern United States in November 2024 as part of an ongoing investigation, and that at least two of those agents directly observed anomalous lights during approximately ninety minutes of field observation. The observations include lights that did not reflect off nearby water, lights that appeared and disappeared without identifiable cause, and a two-light formation that vanished and re-appeared at its original position in a manner both observing agents found notable.
What this record does not establish: the identity of the phenomenon observed. No conventional explanation is offered or ruled out in the available text. The location, all personnel identities, the case number, and a substantial portion of the document's analytical content remain redacted. The five photographs produced during the visit are acknowledged to be largely unusable due to camera stabilization limitations. The record does not identify the UAP; it documents that trained federal agents observed anomalous phenomena under conditions they found unexplained at the time of observation.
The observations remain unresolved and unidentified.
