Eye of Sauron Orb Cluster — Western USA

Multiple federal law enforcement agents and civilian witnesses reported a cluster of large orange orbs over a rural area in the Western United States. The primary objects were described as resembling 'the Eye of Sauron without a pupil' — an oval amber-orange luminous mass. Each primary orb emitted groups of 2 to 4 smaller red orbs that descended, moved independently, then returned to the parent object. The event lasted approximately 22 minutes and was observed by multiple credible federal witnesses across a 6-mile radius. AARO's 2026 summary rates this as 'among the most compelling cases in AARO's holdings.' No drone fleet, weather balloon, or atmospheric phenomenon accounts for the observed parent-child emission behavior. The FBI field report includes night-vision photographs that are partially redacted to protect witness identities.
