This video is an artistic interpretation of a reported incident near a sensitive national security site in the western United States involving unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) over a period of two days in October 2023. This digital recreation is based upon a first-hand description provided by a federal law enforcement special agent, as described in DOW-UAP-D081. The Federal Bureau of Investigation prepared this digital recreation at the request of the Department of War in 2026

The summary above is sourced from the released file metadata as published to war.gov. The analysis sections below are original to this tracker.

Where this file fits in the PURSUE archive

This file is one of FBI's 86 files in the Trump PURSUE disclosure. Within the FBI agency block it ranks #6 of 86 by Anomalousness Index. Across the entire 294-file archive it ranks #10 of 294.

That places it tied with 26 other files at 66 - the densest single-score cluster in the archive, anchored by AARO-submitted military infrared captures.

Anomalousness Index: 70/100

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.

sensor quality (single sensor military) 80 × 0.25 = 20.0

Captured by a single U.S. military sensor platform (typically infrared, occasionally short-wave infrared or dual EO+IR), aboard a mission aircraft or operational platform. Instrumented, time-stamped, and recoverable. Lower than a multi-sensor capture only because cross-modality confirmation is the rubric's higher bar.

witness credibility (federal agent) 90 × 0.2 = 18.0

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.

corroboration (single witness instrument) 60 × 0.2 = 12.0

Single-witness or single-instrument capture. Every file in the PURSUE archive scores at this corroboration tier 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.

kinematic anomaly (no kinematic data) 30 × 0.15 = 4.5

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.

mundane explanation available (weak mundane candidate) 70 × 0.1 = 7.0

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.

official disposition (open after review) 90 × 0.1 = 9.0

Released as open after formal review by the originating agency. The file passed through a review process and was published in that posture - a stronger disposition signal than 'unresolved with no review,' because review has occurred and the open status is the agency's published conclusion.

Bottom line on the score: the Anomalousness Index of 70/100 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. For the full per-axis weights and the rubric JSON, see /methodology.
