FD-302a(Rev. 5-8-10) Continuation of FD-302 of __________________ and .. ,On 04/ll/2025 ,Page 2 of 3 triangle shaped object flying North. The object had a car - sized white l ight in each of its three corners that emitted a diffuse gl ow and were recessed back a bit from the corners . The object was l ow to the ground , and creating a l ow humming noise that made a pu l sing sound. told him to take a video , but by the time - got his phone out, the object had flown over the tree line behind the houses to the north , and out of s i ght . He had seen the object for approximate l y 10 - 15 seconds . There were no contrai l s left beh ind the object. - fe l t dumbfounded and awestruck during the experience . When 111111 observed the object , he was overwhelmed by the size of it and how low it was to the ground. 111111 thought the object may have been 800 feet above the ground , and based on the dimensions of their environment, he estimated the object was 200 feet long and 100 feet wide . 111111 believed the object had more of an equilateral triangle shape , but based on the cal cul ated dimensions , it could have been more of an isosceles triangle. The object was moving slowly and steadily , and he also heard the pulsing sound . 111111 saw the three lights in t he corners , but also remembered seeing something in the middle of the triangle that was gray i sh or graphite colored. Neither 111111 nor - had a clear memory of the thickness or any other description of the vertical profile of the triangle. They opined that they were in i tially underneath the triangle and didn 't really have a view of its side or vertical profile . They were then temporarily distracted by their unsucces s ful attempt to get a phone out to video record the UAP, at the moment when they likely would have had a better view of the back profile . 111111 believed a couple of people in the neighborhood also saw would also would try to see if as wel l as their neighbors who witnessed the UAP, would be willing to write a statement about their observation, or speak to the FBI about it .
