Pantex Unidentified Object Incident Report
plant. Their perspective of the object was that it was a "diamond" type shape with it being
more round at the top.
Security Police Officers in a Bearcat with a Common Remotely Operated Weapon System
(CROWS) unit were also able to locate and track the object via CROWS camera as it traversed
the plant. The SPOs stated that it was 100-200 ft. above the ground and they were able to track
the object for 3-5 minutes. The SPOs location was approximately 75-100 meters from the
object.
Other PF personnel that observed the object, including a SPO that was viewing the object
through binoculars described it as being approximately 4 ft. tall and 2 ft. wide at the bottom.
The object was also described as being thinner at the top. However, there were some
discrepancies in the color of the object. Some personnel stated that it was black in color while
others noted that it appeared to be silver, red and blue.
Video was obtained from the GSR tower that was closest to the object and subsequently sent to
Sandia National labs for further study (see image below titled, Image from Ground Surveillance
Radar Tower). The video does not provide much detail of the object due to the distance of the
object to the GSR tower. It should be noted that at no time did the object appear to be
threatening in nature nor did it come to close proximity to any sensitive assets. The object
remained over open unpopulated areas ofthe plant priorto it proceeding offsite. All evidence
ofthe incident {i.e. statements, video, etc.) were turned over to FBI agent
