Colorado Springs, June 12 — Files released today by the Department of War detail an unresolved 2022 incident near Colorado Springs, Colorado, that was examined by more than one federal agency.
The records include an FBI report on form FD-1057 catalogued as FBI-UAP-D002, a digital rendering of the reported sighting catalogued as FBI-UAP-D003, and a separate intelligence-community analysis catalogued as ICA-UAP-D001. The documents show that both the FBI and intelligence analysts reviewed the same Colorado Springs encounter and were unable to identify the object.
This incident is the latest in a series of U.S. UAP encounters that the government says remain under review. Officials note that the unresolved classification does not imply an extraterrestrial origin and that no confirmed evidence of alien craft has been presented.
The materials were posted publicly at war.gov/UFO as part of the PURSUE rolling declassification ordered by President Donald Trump and overseen by the Department of War with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The release of these documents provides a glimpse into the government’s handling of UAP incidents. The fact that multiple agencies, including the FBI and intelligence analysts, were involved in reviewing the Colorado Springs encounter highlights the complexity of these cases.
A separate intelligence-community analysis, catalogued as ICA-UAP-D001, was also conducted as part of the review of the Colorado Springs incident.
This analysis, combined with the FBI report and digital rendering, provides a comprehensive look at the government’s investigation into the incident. As the government continues to review UAP encounters, the release of these documents is likely to be of interest to those following the issue.
With the PURSUE rolling declassification ongoing, it is likely that more information about UAP incidents will become available in the future.
The Colorado Springs case is significant because it demonstrates the government’s willingness to release information about UAP incidents, even when the origin of the object is unknown. As the investigation into this incident and others like it continues, the public can expect to learn more about the government’s handling of these cases. Looking ahead, it will be important to watch for further releases of information about UAP incidents as part of the PURSUE rolling declassification.
As more documents become available, the public may gain a better understanding of the government’s approach to investigating and reviewing these incidents.
