Summary

FBI-produced digital rendering depicting the unidentified aerial object reported in the Colorado Springs UAP incident of 2022. Digital renderings in FBI investigations are produced by FBI artists working directly from witness descriptions and in some cases from photographic or video evidence. This document provides a visual characterization of the object as described by the witness(es) in the accompanying FD-302.

Significance

FBI digital rendering provides a visual reference for the Colorado Springs UAP object. The FBI's production of a formal artist rendering confirms the Bureau took the witness description seriously enough to commit investigative resources to visual documentation — a threshold that requires agent judgment.
