Western US Event Slides 5 08 2026

Summary

Four-page slide presentation from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), released 2026-05-08, summarizing Western U.S. events witnessed by teams of federal law enforcement special agents designated USPER1 through USPER7. It documents four incidents: orange mother orbs that launched smaller red orbs in groups of two to four at dusk on two separate days; a large fiery orb perched near a rock pinnacle, which AARO measurements later placed about 1050 meters away and 12 to 18 meters in diameter; a Dark Kite object with red and white lights that moved off a road sideways at an estimated 15 to 20 mph; and a Transparent Kite seen about thirty minutes later that appeared to block a spotlight beam. The fiery orb is compared to the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings.
