Large blue featureless triangular object hovering near national security facility — Pacific Time Zone, March 2023
In March 2023 at night in the Pacific Time Zone, a civilian observer reported seeing a large blue featureless triangular object with a solid, unwavering silhouette emitting powerful 'whitish blue' light from multiple points along its perimeter. The object hovered stationary above or near a national security facility for approximately three minutes, then moved to a higher position in the observer's field of view in a 'jerking' or 'jumping' manner inconsistent with smooth jet propulsion. Total observation duration was approximately eight minutes. The document is an email chain coordinating the derivative classification review of an AFOSI Intelligence Information Report (IIR) for downgrade to UNCLASSIFIED.

Document is an AFOSI classification review email chain. The IIR and draft report are referenced as attached but their content is not present in the extractable text. Incident data derives from a summary paragraph prepared for downgrade review. Reporter is civilian; evidence obtained via personal cellular device. Duration of 480 seconds computed from '~8 minutes' stated in report. Location stated only as 'Pacific Time Zone' and 'near a national security facility' — western US centroid used; location_approx set true. No speed, altitude, or precise date given. Object described as 'featureless' and lacking a discernible front/rear; observer stated it did not appear to be a drone. No vapor trail, no data collection capabilities observed. Confidence reduced for single civilian witness, no sensor data, and absence of precise date or location.
