Approximately 30 minutes after passing through the (approximately pulled over to the side of the road and exited the vehicle to investigate. - described the lights as "dash" shaped and dul l red in color t o t he naked eye . The l ights moved along the ridgeline of the mountains t o his west . - was equipped with Night Optical Devices (NODs) and observed the lights through said optics as well . - relayed that, despite being "dash­ shaped" to the naked eye, the lights appeared "orb- like" or circular thr ough the NODs, with the characteristic "NOD halo" around them, which is typical when l ooking at a l i ght source through NODs . - stated that he is very fami liar with using NODs, as he has been using them for 25+ years and has many hours of experience . - stated that he has astigmatism and while the objects appeared "dash-shaped" t o him, stated they appeared triangular or diamond-shaped, which could possibly be attributed t o - After approximately 20 minutes, both of the aforementioned unidentified lights disappeared.

unidentified l i ght appear directly above their location and was vi sible for of their positi on and appeared t o be approximately 500 feet above their vehicl e . The uni denti fied light appeared t o move t oward them and stopped moved t oward, and then stopped in proximity of, t he first . The second l ight appeared to be approximately 6 feet off the ground. As wat ched the two unident ified l i ghts t o t he east, he noti ced light i n hi s peri pheral vi sion descend from altitude and stop in a dry wash approximately 100 meters behind them. Although - could not di rectl y see the light source, he observed the gl ow emanating from the wash. watched the glow move through the wash. entered their vehicle and drove up t o t he next i ntersection in attempt to get a better view of t he unidentified l ights to t heir east. Upon arri val, the l ights were no longer observed. - ­ - returned to their ori ginal position, but were unable t o re-acquir e the unidentifi ed lights . walked 10-20 meters away from the vehicle to l ook around the area; - remained near the vehicle. At t hi s t ime, - adjusted the filter on hi s NODs to l ook at hi s watch, which displ ayed approximately 1: 00am (estimated based on memory) . - s watch was a Men's Aut omatic Analog Watch. - wal ked back discrepancy, compared the time displ ayed on hi s watch to the time displ ayed on his phone and observed that the t ime on his watch was 25 minutes ahead of the time on his phone and the vehicl e ' s digital cl ock. - relayed the discrepancy t o ■■■■■, whose digital watch displayed the same t ime as the phones and vehi cle cl ock. - stated that he had owned t hat watch for approximately 5 years, and i t had never been off by more than 60- 90 seconds . - had last checked the t ime on his watch at approximately 10:00pm, and i t was accurate at that t ime. - stated that hi s watch was the onl y mechanical/analog/non-digital clock in the vi cinity at that time and it was the only clock that displ ayed a different time. - di d not adjust hi s wat ch or reset t he time for 24 hours to see i f it continued to malfunction; the wat ch conti nued t o keep accurate time but remained ~5 minutes fast .

- t old agents that he had spent a considerable amount of time at a - facility looking up at t he night sky, and was famil iar with how stated that the lights he observed and described were unlike anything he had seen before . - stated that the l ights he observed on - did not behave like satellites, as satellites track linear across the sky, whereas these did not . - stated t he unidentified l ights moved around and changed direction, and al so appeared to be as low as 6 feet off the ground. The low-e l evation lights described would have been backdropped by the mountains and below the rel ative horizon he observed was not a UAS that he familiar with. - noted no exhaust or tail when these obj ects moved, and they exhibited no audible sound signature. - attempted to observed the objects through thermal optics, but was unsuccessful . noted no physi ological effects from the events . - stated that the observations did not induce a fear or agitation response - just cur iosity. conversed about thi s afterward, and given their backgrounds, found it strange that they did not feel fear or threatened during their observations . - provided his contact info rmation and was open t o further contact from
