1) orbited the location while searching with NVGs (pilots) and the naked eye ([WITNESS
11) with the aid of the helicopter's spotlight in near full darkness for several minutes with
negative results.
At approximately 2149 hours, [CALL SIGN 1) departed the search location to return to
base and received notification from LP/OP that -had-hits bearing -
4
miles out from their location. The JOC then provided coord ([COORDINATES]). [CALL
SIGN 1] moved to intercept.
At 2202 hours-[CALL SIGN 1] arrived at the aforementioned coordinates and
spotted a possible aircraft on the horizon moving away to the west. LP/OP confirmed
the sighting then relayed they spotted an orb under FUR and described as "super-hot"
hovering at ground level before heading bearing-from LP/OP. LP/OP reported the
orb was heading east and then south at a high rate of speed and then broke into two
objects. LP/OP directed [CALL SIGN 1] to head south to [COORDINATES] to intercept.

At 2207 hoursilllll JOC reported five [MILITARY AIRCRAFT] from

Once on station, [CALL SIGN 1] searched the location with FUR, NVG, and the naked
eye but did not locate the orb. LP/OP reported the orb ained elevation, came within ten
feet of (CALL SIGN 1] and then headed east to

[CALL SIGN 1], unable to match speed, broke off pursuit, however
the co-pilot reported seeing under NVG something emerge from the two objects and
then travel in a different direction and a high rate of speed.
At 2218 hours .

when the pilots (NVG) and (WITNESS 1] (naked eye) spotting a swarm of Ii hts too

enroute to assist, eta two minutes. At 2227 hours.

swarm.
At approximately 2227 hours-
(possible out of order), in proximity of [SITE CODE
NAME] headed south, [WITNESS 1] (naked eye) and the pilots (NVG) spotted two large
orbs appear in close proximity to (CALL SIGN 1] to the west and above the rotor disk.
From the naked eye perspective, the two orbs appeared to flare up and remain
stationary side by side. They appeared to be oval shaped, orange in color with a white
or yellow center and emitting light in all directions. After a few seconds, a third orb flared
up below the two, and then another one below that one until there were four or five in
total below the original two. After a few seconds the orbs began to flare down in reverse
order while appearing to be stationary until visual was lost.
At approximately 2228 hours-
(CALL SIGN 1] - [WITNESS 1] (naked eye) and the
pilots (NVG) spotted four or five orbs (similar to the orbs that were in close proximity to
the helicopter) appear to the west over the mountains above the (MILITARY
AIRCRAFT]. The orbs flared up one at a time in a horizontal formation and after
approximately ten - fifteen seconds, flared down in the opposite order.
At approximately 2233 hours -
(CALL SIGN 1] - (WITNESS 1] (naked eye) and the
pilots (NVG) spotted a similar orb formation to the east in the direction of [NEARBY
TOWN NAME]. The orbs flared up one at a time in a horizontal formation and after
approximately ten - fifteen seconds, flared down in the opposite order and lost visual.
At approximately 2241 hours-
(CALL SIGN 1] - (WITNESS 1] (naked eye) and the
pilots (NVG) spotted a similar orb flare up west of [SITE CODE NAME] over the
mountain. After several seconds the orb flared down and lost visual.

[WITNESS 1] Comments:

Some things I could not see with the naked eye, but I recall the pilots calling out
