Reading official sources correctly
DVIDS/AARO/FBI/DoD pages are used for public date, source, sensor, witness and descriptive metadata. They are not treated as proof that any specific origin has been established.
The combined PR001-PR004 cluster is important because it gives repeated visible cases in the same broad region, with PR002/PR003/PR004 defining the red/orange family.
| Case | Year | Source / sensor | Trait extraction |
|---|---|---|---|
| PR004 | 2025 | iPhone 14 Pro Max / FBI witnesses | Bright red sphere around 1 m, white-plasma center, low altitude, two orbs, tandem/fusion, silent smooth movement, within 25 miles of PR001-PR003. |
| PR002 | 2022 | iPhone 12 Pro / FBI witness | Two bright red sources, hover near horizon, estimated 2,500 ft range, relative rotation from 6 to 9 o clock, no sound. |
| PR003 | 2024 | iPhone / government analysis | Plasma-like sphere over pond, around 2,700 ft estimate, changing form/luminosity, separates into points, about 45 min, no sound, authenticated video. |
| PR001 | 2021 | iPhone 12 Pro | Intense light resolving into multiple lights/triangle with erratic relative rotation in the same official cluster. |
| PR034 | 2023 | Military IR / CENTCOM-AARO | Compact contrast area near ocean surface; horizontal motion; multiple 90-degree turns around 80 mph; contrast/lock loss. |
| PR035 | 2023 | Military IR / CENTCOM-AARO | Small/circular object over ocean toward land; becomes indistinguishable as the background changes from water to land. |
| PR028 | 2024 | Military SWIR/visible | Diamond-shaped target around 434 kt, detectable only in SWIR and lost when switching to visible. |
