Machine summary

Written by Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic) on June 12, 2026, from the record's text and war.gov's description. It is not part of the record and can contain errors; check it against the document.

FBI-UAP-D018 is a digital rendering produced by the FBI in 2026 at the request of the Department of War. It depicts a UAP incident reported near a sensitive national security site in the western United States over two days in October 2023. The image is an artistic interpretation based on a first-hand account provided by a federal law enforcement special agent. The rendering was released on June 12, 2026, as part of the PURSUE Release 01 program. No specific location within the western United States is identified in the available metadata.

The document's significance lies in its sourcing: it is tied directly to a sworn first-hand witness account from a federal law enforcement officer, with the underlying narrative statement recorded in a separate document, DOW-UAP-D080. As an image file, it contains no OCR text, meaning the evidentiary substance is entirely visual and dependent on the companion narrative record. The proximity of the event to a sensitive national security site makes it relevant to broader UAP reporting patterns near restricted installations.
