FBI-UAP-D040, FD-302, “Multiple Red Lights,” 2026
An FBI FD-302 records a second witness account of multiple red lights during a rainy 2026 nighttime observation. The source describes clusters of three lights moving together, later low-level lights visible through night optics, a rapidly moving peripheral streak, and the same reported 25-minute analog-watch discrepancy.

Probed Assessment
Key takeaways
- After about 15 minutes of watching one light, the witness reported six to ten additional lights directly overhead.
- One light reportedly descended rapidly by an estimated 1,000 feet and then disappeared.
- The witness described some lights as groups of three arranged in triangular or diamond-shaped patterns.
Why it matters
This 2-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 document is an FBI FD-302, a form the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses to record interviews. This FD-302 records a 2026 telephonic interview with a U.S. person, in which the interviewee describes two incidents potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the western United States in 2026. A second individual who was present during the incidents at the time also provided an interview, recorded in this collection as “FBI-UAP-D037.” Two FBI digital renderings based upon the observers’ descriptions accompany this document, under the titles FBI-UAP-D041 and FBI-UAP-D042.
