In November 2024, FBI agents visited a property in the Northeastern United States to survey areas where the owner had observed unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) over the previous three years. The agents toured the property, reviewed trail camera footage and photos, and discussed potential monitoring equipment.
What did the agents see during the site visit?
Agents were taken to a wooded area approximately 200 yards from the home, where a trail camera had captured UAP activity facing west. The wooded area had signs restricting hunting and fishing, as well as a stone wall running south to north. The agents also observed that multiple homes along a nearby road would have a clear line of sight to the area where UAP activity had been observed.
What materials did the property owner provide?
The property owner gave agents 24 enclosures, including tree line photos taken west of the home, photos from trail cameras on the property, photos from the back deck, and a photo log. The owner also provided a video showing activity on the north side of the property, with the owner visible walking in the vicinity of where UAP activity had been observed. Some items in the enclosure list are redacted and their specific content is unclear.
What happens next?
The property owner stated that they would be open to equipment being set up on the property for observation or time lapse video. The owner also agreed to coordinate with agents to have them visit the property during an evening, when UAP activity is often observed.
