FBI-UAP-D007, FD-1057-06, Northeastern United States, 2024
This document is an FBI FD-1057, a form the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uses to record investigative activity. This FBI FD-1057 documents first-hand observations made by two FBI special agents’ during the course of an ongoing investigation in November 2024. 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.
The summary above is sourced from the released file metadata as published to war.gov. The analysis sections below are original to this tracker.

At the time of the surveillance, the weather was approximately 48 degrees , with overcast conditions and no precipitation. The official sunset time was - ■ At approximately 4:45pm, Agents and - went out to - patio on the north side of his home . - initially pointed out lights 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&irizontally with somewhat erratic movements. The light did not appear to reflect off the water of - - giving the possibility that the light source was over the wooded area to the north si de of The light source di d not appear to 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 white 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

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 #92 of 104 by Anomalousness Index. Across the entire 450-file archive it ranks #323 of 450.
That places it in the lower-scoring band of the archive (323 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.
Reported by a witness with no instrumented record. The lowest tier in the rubric's sensor axis. Eyewitness perception in field conditions, even when the witness is highly credentialed, scores below capture by any instrumented modality. This report reached the federal record through the FBI.
Federal agency personnel (FBI investigators or equivalent) recording the report into the federal investigative system. Investigative credentials, but typically operating in a reactive rather than mission-active posture.
Single-witness or single-instrument capture. This is the corroboration tier for the overwhelming majority of the PURSUE archive on the released metadata - the rubric records the honest limit of the underlying record rather than inferring multi-witness corroboration that the released summaries do not establish. A small number of files with an independent second witness or instrument score on the multi-witness/multi-instrument tier above this one.
No kinematic measurements - speed, acceleration, vector - are published in the released file with sufficient precision to score on the kinematic axis. The rubric does not infer kinematic anomaly from narrative observer estimates. Every file in the archive carries this value, which is itself an observation about the disclosure: kinematic-grade telemetry was not part of what was released.
A conventional candidate explanation has been considered but is not dispositive. Every file in the archive scores this way - reflecting that the underlying release metadata systematically caveats strong determinations in either direction. The released summaries warn against reading them as conclusive analytical judgments, and the rubric respects that.
Catalogued as unresolved with no formal review process having concluded. This is the disposition for a large share of the archive's military infrared captures - the reports are logged into the system as unresolved, but no formal review has finalized. The rubric distinguishes this from 'open after review' because the absence of review is itself a status signal.
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.
