FBI-UAP-D002: FD-1057, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022

This released document is an interpretive reconstruction tied to a reported event, not direct sensor evidence. The source record states that a former U.S. Army intelligence officer and four other members of his unit observed a UAP over the Cheyenne Mountains. The reconstruction is useful for understanding how the reported witness description was visualized, while keeping that interpretation separate from direct photographic or sensor evidence.
