An FBI FD-302 records a March 2025 interview with a U.S. military service member about five soldiers seeing a silent, stationary, white bean-shaped object over Cheyanne Mountain near Fort Carson in early February 2022.
The interviewee said the sighting happened on a workday in early February 2022, around 1:00 or 2:00PM, while he and four other soldiers were walking toward a building near Fort Carson. All five saw an oval, horizontal, matte white or off-white object hovering over a low saddle in Cheyanne Mountain, with no sound and no visible motion. They watched it for about 3-5 minutes, looked away to decide who would get a phone, then looked back and found it gone. The group later compared independent drawings, which the FD-302 says were consistent.
