FBI-UAP-D023 is a Federal Bureau of Investigation digital rendering released as part of PURSUE Release 03 on June 12, 2026. The Department of War lists the contributing agency as the FBI, the incident date as October 2023, and the incident location as the western United States.12
What the Image Depicts
The 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 states it prepared the rendering in 2026 at the request of the Department of War.3
Provenance
According to the official release description, the rendering is based upon a first-hand description provided by a federal law enforcement special agent, as documented in companion record DOW-UAP-D080. It is an illustrative product built from that witness account, not original imagery or sensor data captured at the scene.1
What The Record Supports
FBI-UAP-D023 presents an artistic interpretation of a witness account; it is not independent sensor evidence of the reported phenomenon. No photograph, radar trace, or physical sample accompanies the rendering. The identity and nature of the reported object or objects remain unresolved, and the two-day western United States event is unidentified.
