LLE-UAP-D001, Transcript of an Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023

An official one-page transcript records a Colorado law-enforcement officer describing an “orb” roughly 300 feet above ground, no aircraft found on a radar check, about 15 minutes of stationary observation, and later movement closer. The page is redacted to protect the source and police activity, and its listed pairing to PR004 adds witness context without supplying audio to the digitally silent released video.

Probed Assessment

The redacted one-page government transcript records a Colorado law-enforcement officer calling the observed light an “orb,” estimating it at roughly 300 feet, reporting no aircraft on a radar check, and saying it had remained stationary for about 15 minutes before moving closer. These remain unverified witness observations. The document is officially paired to PR004 and supplies narrative context that is absent from the digitally silent released video.

Key takeaways

  • The transcript attributes the account to a Colorado local law-enforcement officer and says identifying and operational details were removed before publication.
  • The officer described an orb approximately 300 feet above ground and said a radar check showed no aircraft in the area; both are witness reports rather than independently established measurements.
  • The officer said the object had remained stationary for about 15 minutes and later appeared to move closer.
  • The official manifest pairs D001 with PR004. The transcript mentions passing vehicles at timecodes overlapping the video’s official vehicle-light description, but it does not establish that the released video contains audible speech.

Why it matters

D001 adds the reporting officer’s contemporaneous narrative to the official visual record and makes the claimed altitude, radar check, duration, and apparent approach inspectable as attributed statements.

Corroboration

The transcript and PR004 metadata both place the event in Colorado and describe a local law-enforcement source. D001’s title and source text support October 2023, while PR004’s official DVIDS description says January 2024; the conflict should remain disclosed. The released PR001–PR004 media tracks were separately verified as digitally silent.

Open questions

  • Which radar system was checked, and are any contemporaneous logs available?
  • What basis did the officer use for the approximate 300-foot altitude?
  • Why does PR004’s official description say January 2024 while D001 and the manifest identify October 2023?

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 a transcript from a UAP sighting by local law enforcement in Colorado. The law enforcement officer narrates what is seen as the UAP is recorded on video. To protect the identity of the source, as well as law enforcement activities, the transcript has been edited to remove potentially identifying information.

The officer reported an object roughly 300 feet above ground

The transcript records the officer calling the object an “orb” and estimating it at approximately 300 feet above ground. The estimate is attributed and unverified.

A radar check reportedly showed no aircraft in the area

The officer said a radar check showed no aircraft flying nearby. The page does not identify the radar system or provide logs, so the statement remains a witness report.

The account describes a stationary interval followed by apparent approach

The officer said the object had remained stationary for about 15 minutes, then later said it was flying closer. These are sequential observations in the redacted transcript.

D001 adds October support but does not erase PR004’s date conflict

D001’s title and source text identify October 2023, consistent with the manifest. PR004’s separate official DVIDS description says January 2024, so the official record remains internally inconsistent.
