A Department of Energy incident report says Pantex ground-surveillance radar detected an unknown object west of the Amarillo facility at about 7:10 a.m. on September 1, 2015. Security personnel followed it by vehicle, observed it through binoculars, and tracked it with a remotely operated camera. Witnesses estimated 10–15 mph, 100–200 feet of altitude, roughly four feet of height, and a diamond-like form with inconsistent color descriptions.
The report says the object made no audible sound, showed no obvious propulsion, appeared to accelerate and change direction while followed, and eventually left the site. Images and video went to Sandia National Laboratories, while evidence was turned over to the FBI. The public file confirms a documented multi-observer security event; it does not provide a conclusive identity, demonstrate extraordinary acceleration, or establish extraterrestrial origin.
Why it matters
It is a rare official case with radar, multiple trained observers, camera tracking, and documented follow-up—stronger provenance than a viral clip, but still bounded by limited public imagery and unresolved identification.
What the source establishes
Confirmed primary Department of Energy report released through PURSUE. The event and response are documented; the object's nature and origin remain unresolved.
