Description from war.gov

In March 2022, at approximately 1920 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed two bright red luminous light sources hovering near the horizon at an estimated distance of 2,500 feet. Both luminous objects maintained generally stationary positions throughout the encounter. The lower light source appeared to rotate slowly relative to the upper light source, moving from an apparent 6 o’clock position to slightly beyond the apparent 9 o’clock position. The eyewitness did not hear any sounds from the light sources. The eyewitness captured this video using an iPhone 12 Pro at a location well known to them, which is sparsely populated. The description above is derived from statements provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by an eyewitness to the event. The FBI assesses the individual who reported this event as highly credible. The subject matter described in files FBI-UAP-D004 through FBI-UAP-D008 and depicted in the video footage FBI-UAP-PR001 through FBI-UAP-PR003 corresponds to reports originating from the same general area in the northeastern United States.

FBI-UAP-PR002 is a video record released June 12, 2026, documenting a UAP sighting that occurred in March 2022 at approximately 7:20 PM local time in a sparsely populated area of the northeastern United States. An eyewitness assessed by the FBI as highly credible reported observing two bright red luminous objects hovering near the horizon at an estimated distance of 2,500 feet. The lower object appeared to rotate slowly relative to the upper object, moving from roughly the 6 o'clock to the 9 o'clock position. No sound was detected. The footage was captured on an iPhone 12 Pro. No further identifying location details are provided.

This record is part of a cluster of related FBI files — documents FBI-UAP-D004 through FBI-UAP-D008 and videos FBI-UAP-PR001 through FBI-UAP-PR003 — all reportedly originating from the same general northeastern U.S. area, suggesting a pattern of incidents under active FBI review. No OCR text is available from the video file itself, and specific location data remains absent, likely redacted to protect witness identity.
