FBI UAP-PR003 — Orbs Over the Pond, 2024
Dr. Voss's Analysis
FBI-UAP-PR003 is the first video contributed by the FBI to the PURSUE program. It shows an orb — described as a ball of light — over a pond or body of water, captured in 2024. The capture year coincides with the significant public wave of unexplained drone and orb sightings over the Northeastern U.S. and the broader national conversation about unidentified aerial objects that intensified through late 2024. The FBI's contribution of this video, rather than just documentary records, suggests the agency has been actively capturing sensor data on UAP reports it has investigated — not merely processing witness interviews. The Northeastern U.S. orb pattern documented in Release 03 (D009, D010, D011, PR003, PR004) represents a concentrated geographic and temporal cluster that is the largest single-release grouping from one region in the PURSUE program to date.
