FBI-UAP-D039, Rendering 2, “Multiple Red Lights,” 2026
Three digital renderings present a bright circular light through a binocular or night-optics field, with concentric halo rings and a mountainous horizon. The repeated frames illustrate an optical appearance rather than independently measuring the light’s range, size, or motion.

Probed Assessment
Key takeaways
- Digital rendering through a binocular or night-optics field. A bright circular light with concentric halo rings appears left of center above a dark mountain horizon.
- Second digital rendering from the same optics view. The bright circular light and surrounding halo remain above the mountain horizon.
- Third digital rendering from the same optics view. The luminous circular source remains visible with concentric optical halo rings.
Why it matters
This 3-page official record adds page-located primary-source material to the public history represented in Release 05. Its value lies in what the document records, not in independent confirmation of every reported event or estimate.
Corroboration
The assessment is grounded in the official PDF, reviewed page text, and faithful source excerpts. Statements attributed to witnesses or agencies remain source claims unless separately corroborated in the record.
Open questions
- • Which reported observations or technical estimates can be independently corroborated from contemporaneous records?
Probed separates this editorial assessment from the source claims below. It summarizes what the released artifact supports; it is not independent verification.
Official Description from War.gov
This image is an artistic interpretation of a reported incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the western United States in 2026. This image is based upon a first-hand description provided by two U.S. persons, as described in FBI-UAP-D037. The Federal Bureau of Investigation prepared this digital rendering in 2026 as a visual aid in support of the PURSUE initiative.
