FBI-UAP-D001, FD-302, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado Springs, 2022
This document is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) FD-302, a form the FBI uses to record interviews. This FD-302 contains a summary of an interview with a U.S. military service member in March 2025 regarding a February 2022 incident potentially involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). The individual described the phenomenon as being “bean shaped,” “matte white” or “off-white” in color, with a surface covered in “intersecting lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern.” The individual described the phenomenon as “motionless” and that “no sound could be heard coming from it.” FBI Note: AARO has since been in contact with the interviewee to conduct subsequent interviews to inform its analysis of this incident.
The summary above is sourced from the released file metadata as published to war.gov. The analysis sections below are original to this tracker.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION ■ On March ■ 2025, - was interviewed via Microsoft Teams by Special Agent (SA) , and Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) present for the intervi ew was After being advised of the identity of the interviewing agents and the nature of the interview, - provided the following information: ■ The UAP si ghting occurred on a workday i n early February 2022, at approximately 1:00 or 2:00PM in the Fort Carson. He and four other persons from his unit, i ncluding his - drove the short distance over to the That day it was pleasant wi th clear blue ski es. After they parked, they were walking west towards the entrance of the building. It was natural to look west because of the beautiful view of Cheyanne Mountain. ■ At that time, - and the four other soldiers wi th him all noticed a very strange object that appeared to be hovering just over Cheyanne mountain, in a low point or "saddle" in the mountain. - described the object as being mat te white, or off-whi te i n color and appearing non metallic . The object was oval shaped and i n a hori zontal posi t i on, wi th a curved indentation on the bottom. - descri bed the object as being "bean shaped".

to each other. ■ did not believe the object was drifting in the wind because they observed the object for approximately 3-5 minutes, and it did not change its position rel ative to the saddl e of the mountain during that time. The object was covered in intersecti ng lines or ridges which formed an abstract polygon pattern which covered the entire object. - stated the object was about the size of 10% of the saddl e of the mountains, or about the size of a pool cue at arms-length. None of the five men had a phone on them They all simultaneously looked away momentarily to decide to have one of them go back to the vehicle to get a phone to take a video. When they looked back the object had vanished. They searched the western skyline but wer e not able find the object again. ■ They were all confused what they shoul d do next, They got together afterwards to di scuss what they had seen. They wondered if they had seen a UAP, and went through the alternatives it could have been, such as a blimp or a weather balloon. Each of them independently drew what they remembered the object to look like, and then t hey compared their drawings afterwards. All of the drawings were consistent i n showing a horizontal , white, "bean-shaped" object with abstract lines crossing on it. - believed that made an official report to the army about their observation. - stated he was contacted by AARO in early 2024 about their observation. He stated he provided a response, but that he was never interviewed by AARO or anyone el se.
Where this file fits in the PURSUE archive
This file is one of FBI's 104 files in the Trump PURSUE disclosure. Within the FBI agency block it ranks #87 of 104 by Anomalousness Index. Across the entire 450-file archive it ranks #318 of 450.
That places it in the lower-scoring band of the archive (318 of 450 by score), typical of investigative-record style files where the report is paper-based rather than instrumented.
For the broader cluster context, this file is part of FBI Modern UAP Files - the FBI's modern UAP files: the 2022 Colorado Springs interview and the FBI-authenticated northeastern orb videos. The cluster page walks through all 47 member files with regional grouping, sensor breakdown, and standout analysis.
Anomalousness Index: 55/100
Evidentiary weight that this encounter remains unexplained after conventional analysis. Not a probability of extraterrestrial origin - that number is not honestly computable from the released files and this tracker refuses to publish it.
🤖 AI-ASSISTED SCORING · methodology
The six rubric components break down for this file as follows. Each component has a weighted contribution to the final score; the per-component explanation below describes what this file's particular value on that component means in the rubric's framework.
No sensor, camera, or instrument backs this observation - it is testimony, relayed through the FBI, and scored on the rubric's lowest sensor-quality tier for that reason. That doesn't bear on the witness's credibility (a separate axis); it reflects only that nothing beyond human perception recorded the event.
The witness here is FBI personnel, entering the report into the federal investigative system through standard channels. That's one of the rubric's higher credibility tiers - trained federal investigative staff, weighted level with a trained aviator and below only an astronaut witness - though the posture is reactive (responding to a report) rather than an active operational context.
On corroboration, this file from the FBI - like every single-tier file in the PURSUE archive - is a single-witness or single-instrument capture per the released metadata. The rubric doesn't infer multi-witness confirmation the summaries don't actually establish; this score reflects the honest limit of what was released, not a judgment about the underlying event.
The released file contains no speed, acceleration, or vector data precise enough to score on the kinematic axis - and that's true archive-wide, not specific to this file. The rubric declines to infer kinematic anomaly from a witness's narrative estimate of how fast something moved; that itself says something about what PURSUE actually released: descriptive accounts, not flight-path telemetry.
Every file in the archive, including this one, scores this tier: a conventional explanation was considered in the released record but isn't treated as dispositive. That's a pattern in how war.gov's own summaries are written - they consistently hedge against strong conclusions either way - and the rubric takes that hedging at face value rather than resolving it for them.
This file from the FBI is catalogued as unresolved, with no formal review process having concluded - logged into the system, but not yet finalized by any review. The rubric treats that differently from 'open after review,' because the absence of a completed review is itself part of the file's status, not a placeholder for one.
Bottom line on the score: the Anomalousness Index of 55/100 reflects evidentiary weight that this specific file's encounter remains structurally unexplained by the rubric's six axes - it is not a claim that the underlying event involved anything non-conventional, and it is not comparable across rubrics that use different weights.
