FBI Photo B20: an infrared still of an unidentified craft hovering at under 1,000 ft for 45 minutes. Object defied wind conditions and maintained perfect stationary position with no discernible propulsion.
FBI infrared photograph B20, captured in September 2025 and included in the PURSUE release, shows an unidentified disc-shaped craft hovering at under 1,000 feet altitude for approximately 45 minutes. FBI field agents were dispatched after civilian reports and confirmed the observation. The object maintained a perfectly stationary position despite significant wind conditions at the time (winds measured at 22 knots). No rotors, jets, or any discernible propulsion mechanism was identified in any spectral band of the imagery. The object's temperature on infrared was measured as identical to the ambient air temperature, indicating no heat-generating propulsion. The 45-minute hover with no positional drift under wind loading 'cannot be explained by any known aircraft, drone, or balloon technology' per the FBI technical assessment.
This incident is documented in file FBI-003 released under the PURSUE Initiative on May 8, 2026. The original document, with any remaining redactions, is publicly available at the U.S. Department of War's official UAP portal.

MATCH MY SIGHTINGMaterials recovered near Roswell, NM. A hexagonal disc approximately 20 feet in diameter was documented, suspended from a balloon. Modern re-analysis notes 'composition inconsistent with known terrestrial alloys'.
Federal agents witnessed orange orbs described as resembling 'the Eye of Sauron without a pupil', emitting smaller red orbs in groups of 2–4. Rated 'among the most compelling cases in AARO's holdings.'
