DVIDS / FBI PURSUE release
FBI UAP recreation: Western United States event, 2023
FBI-UAP-PR005 is a digital recreation of a reported 2023 UAP incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States.
What the video shows
The video is not original witness footage. It is an artistic reconstruction intended to visualize a reported event over a two-day period near a sensitive site.
Witness description
The release says the recreation is based on a firsthand description provided by a federal law-enforcement special agent. The public file does not name the agent or provide the exact facility.
Source and provenance
DVIDS published the recreation as FBI-UAP-PR005. The Federal Bureau of Investigation prepared it at the request of the Department of War in 2026.
Evidence notes
The entry is useful for documenting how officials chose to visualize a reported event, but it is weaker than camera footage. Because it is a reconstruction, its evidentiary value depends on the underlying statement and unavailable investigative file.
Possible explanations
Possible explanations for the reported event cannot be narrowed from the recreation alone. Ordinary aircraft, drones, lights, sensor interpretation issues or misperception remain possible without the original investigative material.
Verification notes
The archive treats this as a provenance record for a reported event, not as direct visual evidence.
