PENTAGON UFO FILE · VIDEO · LLE-UAP-PR001Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, 2023
A local law enforcement officer submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office consisting of 1 minute and 19 seconds of video footage from a commercially available cellular device’s rear-facing camera in October 2023. The reporting officer described the phenomenon as “silent” and as featuring “red, blue, and green flashing lights.”
Video Description: AARO digitally altered this footage by blurring the bottom half to obscure information whose release could be reasonably expected to affect the privacy or other protected interest of a U.S. person or commercial entity.
00:00-00:47: The camera pans to track an apparent light source, keeping it generally centered within the frame.
00:48-01:19: The camera increases and decreases its level of magnification several times and continues to pan to track the apparent light source.
AARO Comment: Cellular devices of the type used to capture this footage employ autofocus and other automated image-processing functions that may distort the apparent morphological and kinematic characteristics of distant subjects, particularly at high magnification.
