LLE-UAP-PR002, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023

A Colorado law-enforcement officer submitted this 15-minute cellular-camera video from October 2023 and described a silent light flashing red, blue, and green. The official timeline says the camera keeps an apparent light source generally centered for the full clip, while the lower frame is blurred for privacy. AARO warns that phone autofocus and image processing can alter apparent shape and motion; the footage does not establish the light’s identity.

Probed Assessment

Key takeaways

  • The official account says a Colorado law-enforcement officer submitted 15 minutes of rear-camera cellular video recorded in October 2023.
  • The reporting officer described the light as silent and flashing red, blue, and green; this remains a witness description.
  • Across 00:00–15:00, the official description says the camera kept an apparent light source generally centered.
  • The official description, cached playback, and contact-sheet review support the camera actions and visible light only; witness color and silence descriptions remain attributed, and phone-processing effects limit morphology and motion claims.

Why it matters

The release provides a source-labeled view of what the camera or sensor displayed while keeping reported characteristics separate from conclusions the imagery cannot support.

Corroboration

The official description, cached playback, and contact-sheet review support the camera actions and visible light only; witness color and silence descriptions remain attributed, and phone-processing effects limit morphology and motion claims. The 15 video tracks are digitally silent, so they contain no speech to transcribe.

Open questions

  • What underlying sensor data or contemporaneous records, if any, could distinguish camera or display effects from scene motion?
  • Has AARO issued a case resolution or additional context for this specific release?

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

A local law enforcement officer submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office consisting of 15 minutes of video footage from a commercially available cellular device’s rear-facing camera in October 2023. The reporting officer described the phenomenon as “silent” and as featuring “red, blue, and green flashing lights.” Video Description: AARO digitally altered this footage by blurring the bottom half to obscure information whose release could be reasonably expected to affect the privacy or other protected interest of a U.S. person or commercial entity. 00:00-15:00: The camera focuses on an apparent light source for the duration of the video, keeping it generally centered within the frame. AARO Comment: Cellular devices of the type used to capture this footage employ autofocus and other automated image-processing functions that may distort the apparent morphological and kinematic characteristics of distant subjects, particularly at high magnification.
