Brief

The file is an image asset, not an extractable text document. The FBI prepared it in 2026 as a visual aid for the PURSUE initiative, based on a first-hand description from a former military service member described in FBI-UAP-D024. The underlying reported incident occurred above Bagram Air Force Base, Afghanistan, in June 2002 and potentially involved UAP.

Key points

• The file is an artistic interpretation rather than the original reported sighting record.p.1
• The rendering is tied to a reported incident above Bagram Air Force Base, Afghanistan, in June 2002.p.1
• The FBI prepared the image in 2026 as a visual aid for the PURSUE initiative.p.1
• The image is based on a first-hand description attributed to a former military service member and described in FBI-UAP-D024.p.1

Most interesting

• The file is a digital rendering, so it should not be treated as photographic evidence of the reported event.
• The rendering depends on a separate source file, FBI-UAP-D024, for the underlying first-hand description.
• The described UAP form is an airborne triangle over a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
