Test range encounters (2025)

An unnamed author who describes himself as "a senior U.S. intelligence officer" recounts flying a helicopter search over a weapons test range in late 2025, investigating "loud thuds heard in the mountains on the test range, which coincided with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings reported over the previous several nights." After the sun set, radar detections drew them back up range and "what followed was a series of close UAP encounters lasting over an hour." A ground team reported an object rising from the ground that "approached within ten feet of the helicopter, dropped below us, and then sped away"; hovering at 700 feet the crew watched "two large orbs flare up side-by-side, close to the helicopter - stationary and just above the rotor disk", oval, orange with a white or yellow centre, joined by others in a "T" formation before dimming in reverse order. Later, as fighter jets transited at about 23,000 feet, "the same type of orbs appeared directly above the fighters... matching the jets' speed and flight path", repeating as the jets passed. "We were virtually speechless after these observations." NOTHING CORROBORATES IT HERE. It is testimony the government published, not a government finding, and it names neither the narrator nor the range.

In the UAP recordThe narrative is titled and released by ODNI as a UAP record.
