A phone video of 2 minutes 43 seconds taken at about 5 a.m. in November 2021 in a sparsely populated part of the northeastern United States, by a witness the FBI assesses as “highly credible”; released as FBI-UAP-PR001 in PURSUE release 03. The FBI links it, PR002 and PR003 and its reports D004–D008 to the same general area.

Key moments
- 0:00 A hand-held phone video before dawn: a bright point of light near the horizon, at about 0:03 (frames). The witness told the FBI it first looked like one intense light, before “resolving into multiple lights exhibiting erratic rotational motion relative to one another”, drifting slowly left to right.
- 0:28 The light comes back into view after the camera moves off it; the shaking is the hand-held phone, as the FBI notes (frames).
- 1:18 For most of the next minute faint points of light are visible again near the centre (frames).
