A helicopter chased a super-hot orb
FBI, United States, 2025.
The statement overlaps the ODNI narrative but feels more like a mission log. It gives times, aircraft movements, sensor calls, and reports from a ground observation post. It is one of the archive's must-read modern documents because it is vivid and specific, even though the redactions block many checks a reader would want.
From the file
The ground observation post reported an orb under FLIR, described as 'super-hot,' hovering at ground level before heading east and south at a high rate of speed and breaking into two objects.
The helicopter crew later saw two large orange orbs with white or yellow centers flare up near the aircraft, followed by more orbs appearing below them and then fading in reverse order.
