On November 11 (date partially redacted), FBI Special Agents visited a resident's home to confirm reports of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) the resident had documented over three years. During the visit, agents observed multiple instances of unusual lights, including white pulsating lights that moved erratically and lights with red and white hues near the tree line. The agents attempted to photograph the activity but found the images blurry due to camera limitations.
What did the agents observe?
The agents saw several types of light activity. Around 4:45pm, one agent observed a white pulsating light that moved horizontally with erratic movements near the northern edge of a pond, staying visible for less than ten seconds before disappearing. Later, around 5:30pm, two agents observed a bright white light above a bright red light that hovered near tree-top height, moved quickly from right to left, disappeared, and then reappeared and repeated the same movement. Agents also noted white lights at the tree line that pulsed with a white or blue hue and disappeared, along with plumes of broad light that appeared before flashes of red or white light.
Why were the photos unclear?
The Special Agent who attempted to photograph the UAP activity took five photos, but they came out mostly blurry. The document states that a tripod or other stable platform would have been needed because the camera's long exposure setting could not produce clear images without additional support.
How long did the surveillance last?
The agents and resident observed activity on the patio and backyard until approximately 6:10pm, then went inside to download photos and videos. The agents departed the home at approximately 6:15pm.

■ At approximately 4:45pm, Agents and - went out to - patio
on the north side of his home . - initially pointed out li ghts in the
distance which- believed to be homes and other permanent structures.
- also pointed to lights t(jpich ■ claimoo to be eight miles away and
could not be certain what tho~ light sources were.
■ Approximately twenty minutes later, SA - observed what -
believed to be a UAP. In the direction of SA - saw a
white pulsation of l ight appear. The :~~ht appeared to be at the northern
edge of and began to move l&i rizontally with somewhat erratic
movements. The light did not appear to reflect off the water of -

illuminate the area below it or the surface of The light
appeared to an altitude at or below the tree line. The white light danced
around less than ten seconds, moving side to side, and then disappeared .
• Within the tree line to the west of - home , there were other
lights observed by Agents. On multiple occasions , SA - observed
wh i te lights appear at the top of the tree line . These lights would pul se
and flash it white/blue hue and then disappear. These lights did not
appear to move as erratically and seemed to be more stationary. SA -
also observed plumes of broad light appearing for several seconds before
a flash of light, either red or white appeared, and moved erratically
before disappearing .
• SA - attempted to capture observed UAP activity and these
photos are attached to this communication . Five photos were taken,
however the photos were mostly blurry and do not provide much context. It

believed to be a UAP in the same location of that SA -
had seen the possible UAP. The UAP appeared as a bright white light above
a bright red light at the far end of the pond hovered at a approximately
tree- top height , moved quickly from right to left , d isappeared, then re
appeared simultaneously where it had first appeared, moved quickly from
