This is an FBI 302 interview conducted with a US citizen regarding their first-hand account of a UAP encounter at a US test site. USPER described an object "metallic/gray in color."
Scientific validation axis from the AATIP framework. Checks whether the record references characteristics that would constitute evidence of anomalous technology.
Hovering or lift without conventional means
The object was described as 'almost hovering, slowly moving from east to west' and was completely silent with no visible propulsion, contrails, wings, rotors, or any conventional lift mechanism described. It maintained altitude 500 to 3,000 feet above the tree line.
Acceleration defying known physics
The object was observed hovering and moving slowly for five to ten seconds and 'then the object just disappeared.' The sky was clear with no clouds, and no departure trajectory was observed — the object vanished instantaneously from a near-stationary position.
High speed without expected physical effects
Evading or confounding sensor systems
Transitioning between air, water, or space
