AARO 'Western US Event' orb sighting (Oct 2023).
official-recordincidentDisclosure Legislation & Oversight
An Oct-2023 sighting near a sensitive US national-security site: a large orange 'mother' orb launching smaller orbs, witnessed by government/intelligence officials; AARO assessed it as not behaving like conventional drones (~40% of the file family unresolved).
Documented in an AARO report (Dir. Kosloski, ~Jun 2026) and released via PURSUE (12 Jun 2026). Rep. Burlison references a related western-US orb briefing; his 'ODNI briefed me twice' framing is alleged/uncorroborated. 'Plasmoid' is his exotic gloss; AARO treats plasma as a mundane candidate.
