Question
Answer
Six federal law enforcement agents — three independent teams — observed a large orange orb launching smaller red orbs in groups of 2–4. It occurred at least five times across two days. AARO later measured the object at 12–18 meters in diameter, approximately 1,050 meters from observers. One agent described it as "similar to the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, except without the pupil." The object hovered with zero resistance before vanishing within 1–2 seconds. [^1]
