What do the Colorado police UAP videos in the Pentagon's September 2026 release actually show?
A source-rated read of LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004, the September 18, 2026 cellphone videos from a Colorado law enforcement report, and why a phone-camera comment is not a closed case.
FAST READ
- •Four unresolved courtesy videos posted on DVIDS September 18, 2026 at 07:15: LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004. Unit line: All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Category B-Roll. Location field: COLORADO, US.
- •Each page says a local law enforcement officer submitted the report. Footage is from a commercial phone's rear-facing camera in October 2023. The officer described the phenomenon as silent, with red, blue, and green flashing lights.
- •Date Taken is 10.01.2023 on all four, and each VIRIN starts 231001. That is a card stamp. The narrative says October 2023. The PR001 title does not say October.
- •PR002 is the trap. The narrative says 1 minute and 19 seconds. The timeline says 00:00-15:00. The length field says 00:15:00. Do not pick a winner.
- •The shared camera comment says phone autofocus may distort apparent shape and motion. That is a sensor caveat, not an object identification.

AI ANSWER BLOCK
Four unresolved cellphone videos, LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004, posted on DVIDS September 18, 2026, come from a Colorado law enforcement report in October 2023. Each page says the officer described the phenomenon as silent, with red, blue, and green flashing lights, and that phone autofocus may distort apparent shape and motion. That comment is not a closed identification. PR002 disagrees on length: narrative 1 minute 19 seconds, length field 00:15:00. Speed and altitude are not on these pages. Unresolved is not extraterrestrial.
These four files are a dated public video set you can cite item by item. The citation job is to keep four labels, a length conflict, and a phone-camera caveat from collapsing into one explained case. Unresolved packaging is not a resolution card and not extraterrestrial identification.
What the four files are
LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004 are public DVIDS videos, not a closed AARO case card. Verified this run. Each final URL stayed on the claimed video ID. HTTP 200.
Shared card fields: Date Posted 09.18.2026 07:15. Date Taken 10.01.2023. Location COLORADO, US. Category B-Roll. Courtesy video. The courtesy line names All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
The narrative on each page names the office as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Same office, two spellings on the page. Do not treat the hyphen as a second agency.
PR001 title: LLE-UAP-PR001, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, 2023. Video ID 1023409. VIRIN 231001-D-D0360-9385. Filename DOD_111985834. Length 00:01:19.
PR002 title: LLE-UAP-PR002, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023. Video ID 1023412. VIRIN 231001-D-D0360-5713. Filename DOD_111985844. Length 00:15:00. The page text also carries a PURSUE Title line for that same label. A title line is not a highlight-table membership proof.
PR003 title: LLE-UAP-PR003, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023. Video ID 1023414. VIRIN 231001-D-D0360-2153. Filename DOD_111985850. Length 00:00:27.
PR004 title: LLE-UAP-PR004, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023. Video ID 1023416. VIRIN 231001-D-D0360-1358. Filename DOD_111985855. Length 00:01:42.

Four-file table: do not collapse the set
The extractable block for this brief is a four-file table. Read it before you add the lengths together, or before you treat the camera comment as a closed identification.
File ID | DVIDS video ID | Narrative length | Length field | Blur note | What the page does not say
LLE-UAP-PR001 | 1023409 | 1 minute and 19 seconds | 00:01:19 | bottom half blurred | no altitude, no radar, no speed
LLE-UAP-PR002 | 1023412 | 1 minute and 19 seconds | 00:15:00 | bottom half blurred | the page disagrees with itself on length. Still no altitude, radar, or speed
LLE-UAP-PR003 | 1023414 | 27 seconds | 00:00:27 | first 2 seconds blurred | magnification is sensor behavior, not object performance
LLE-UAP-PR004 | 1023416 | 1 minute and 42 seconds | 00:01:42 | first 2 seconds blurred | an approaching vehicle in the description is not object approach
Not a fifth video. This brief did not open an official transcript PDF. News lines that are not on these four video pages stay off the card.
Do not add the four narrative lengths into one total. PR001 and PR002 can share a sentence and still be different files. PR003 is 27 seconds. PR004 is 1 minute and 42 seconds. Four labels, four IDs.
What the pages share
The opening sentence is the same shape on all four. A local law enforcement officer submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon to AARO.
The footage sentence names a commercially available cellular device, rear-facing camera, October 2023. It does not name a phone model, a department, or a town.
The officer-description sentence is shared, and it is narrow. The reporting officer described the phenomenon as silent, and as featuring red, blue, and green flashing lights.
Described is the limiter. The page is quoting the reporting officer. It is not an AARO finding that the lights were silent, or that the lights were a craft.
PR001 and PR002 say AARO digitally altered the footage by blurring the bottom half, for privacy. PR003 and PR004 limit that sentence to the first 2 seconds. Do not write one blur rule for all four.
Each page ends the description with the same fence. The description is for informational purposes only. Readers should not treat any part of it as an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination about the event's validity, nature, or significance.
The camera comment is not an identification
The AARO comment is the same on all four pages. Cellular devices of this type employ autofocus and other automated image-processing functions that may distort the apparent morphological and kinematic characteristics of distant subjects, particularly at high magnification.
May distort is the limiter. The sentence is about what a phone camera can do to apparent shape and apparent motion. It is not a finding that this object was a light, a drone, an aircraft, or a lens artifact.
Do not upgrade the comment into AARO explained the Colorado case, or the videos are just autofocus, or the case is closed as prosaic. The pages do not say that.
Do not upgrade unresolved plus a camera comment into active review. The four video pages do not say the case remains under active review.
The pages also do not say orb. They say phenomenon, then apparent light source in the timeline. A search phrase that adds orb is demand language, not page text.
PR002 disagrees with itself on length
PR002 is the citation failure mode. Three fields on one page do not match.
The narrative says the report consists of 1 minute and 19 seconds of video. That sentence matches PR001's narrative length. It may be copied. This brief does not decide that. It reports the disagreement.
The timeline line says 00:00-15:00. The camera focuses on an apparent light source for the duration of the video, keeping it generally centered.
The length field says 00:15:00.
PR001 does not have this conflict. Its narrative says 1 minute and 19 seconds. Its length field says 00:01:19. Its timeline is 00:00-00:47, then 00:48-01:19.
Do not pick 1:19 as the real PR002 runtime because the narrative says so. Do not pick 15:00 because the length field says so. Quote both, and say the page disagrees with itself.
Secondary indexes that list PR002 as both a short clip and a 15-minute clip are repeating this conflict. They are not a tie-breaker.
Sensor timelines are not object performance
PR001: 00:00-00:47, the camera pans to track an apparent light source, keeping it generally centered. 00:48-01:19, the camera increases and decreases magnification several times and continues to pan.
A pan that recenters a light is camera behavior. A magnification change is camera behavior. Neither sentence is an object turn rate or a measured speed.
PR003: 00:00-00:27, the camera increases magnification and focuses on an apparent light source for the duration, generally centered, top third of the frame. The blur sentence is the first 2 seconds only.
PR004: 00:00-00:35, the camera focuses on an apparent light source, generally within the center of the frame.
PR004, 00:36-01:04: an approaching vehicle influences the camera's automatic image-processing filters, including autofocus. The camera remains focused on the apparent light source.
PR004, 01:05-1:27: the camera remains focused on the apparent light source. The page writes 1:27 without a leading zero. Quote it that way.
PR004, 01:28-01:37: another approaching-vehicle band, same autofocus sentence. 01:38-01:42: the camera pans down.
An approaching vehicle in the description is a camera-influence note. It is not a finding that the reported phenomenon approached. Do not upgrade that sentence into object approach, closing speed, or a chase.
October 1 is a card stamp
Date Taken is 10.01.2023 on all four cards. Each VIRIN starts 231001. That pairing is a card pattern, not an incident clock.
The narrative says October 2023. It does not give a day, a town, or a clock time.
The PR001 title omits the word October. PR002, PR003, and PR004 include it. Do not repair the PR001 title.
Unsafe use: the officer filmed the object at a stated hour on October 1, 2023, or the four files are one witnessed night because the card stamp matches.
A September 24, 2026 UFO Times headline says the four recordings are from the same night. The video pages do not say that. Same card stamp is not a shared incident clock.
What not to merge
Do not merge this set with the October 2023 western United States mother-orb unresolved analysis. That product is a multi-witness official memo about orange and red orbs, a flare-linked share, and a residual. These pages are cellphone videos from a law enforcement report. Same month is not the same case.
Do not merge this set with the Western United States commercial-aircraft resolution card. That card is a closed distant-aircraft identification. These pages are unresolved video labels. Do not import the aircraft finding onto a phone clip because both can be read as western and 2023.
Do not import 480 mph, six spheres, or DOW-UAP-PR135. Do not import 80 to 180 mph or DOW-UAP-PR140. Do not import the 2023 Yellow Sea and East China Sea set. Those are other September 18 DVIDS posts. Same morning is not the same object.
Do not cite DVIDS Video ID 1023399 as part of this set. A prior run showed that ID resolving to an airshow promo, not a UAP report.
Direct requests for the war.gov LLE search page and for the September 18 release statement returned HTTP 403 HTML this run. Table membership was not re-read. The hub Release 06 inventory already lists PR001 and PR002 as featured rotator rows from an earlier verification. This page does not add PR003 or PR004 to that list.
Do not say the Pentagon confirmed a speed. Speed is not on these video pages. Altitude is not on these video pages. A radar check is not on these video pages.
How to cite the set without the upgrade
Name the product: four unresolved courtesy videos, LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004, posted September 18, 2026 at 07:15, location COLORADO, US.
Name the submission sentence: a local law enforcement officer submitted phone video from a rear-facing commercial camera in October 2023.
If you quote the officer, keep the verbs. Described as silent. Described as featuring red, blue, and green flashing lights.
If you mention the camera comment, keep may distort in the same clause. A caveat about autofocus is not a closed identification.
If you mention length, split PR002 from the other three. Quote the narrative and the 00:15:00 length field. Do not pick.
If you describe motion, quote the sensor timeline for that file ID. Pan, magnification, and autofocus influence are not object kinematics.
Keep October 1, 2023 off the incident line. It is Date Taken on the card, paired with VIRIN prefix 231001.
Safe citation: On September 18, 2026, DVIDS posted four unresolved Colorado cellphone videos, LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004. Each page says a law enforcement officer described a silent phenomenon with red, blue, and green flashing lights, and that phone autofocus may distort apparent shape and motion. That comment is not a closed identification. PR002's page disagrees on length. Unresolved release is not extraterrestrial proof.
Unsafe upgrade: AARO explained the clips as a camera artifact, the four files are one 15-minute night, the Pentagon confirmed a speed, this is the mother-orb case, or the videos prove alien craft.
Questions this page answers
What are the Colorado police UAP videos in PURSUE?
They are four unresolved DVIDS videos posted September 18, 2026 at 07:15, labeled LLE-UAP-PR001 through PR004. Each page says a local law enforcement officer submitted phone footage from October 2023 in Colorado. They are courtesy videos, not a closed AARO case card.
What is LLE-UAP-PR002?
It is DVIDS Video ID 1023412, titled Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023. The narrative says 1 minute and 19 seconds. The timeline says 00:00-15:00. The length field says 00:15:00. Quote the conflict. Do not pick a winner.
How long is the Colorado October 2023 UAP video?
There is not one video. PR001 is 1 minute 19 seconds on both the narrative and the length field. PR003 is 27 seconds. PR004 is 1 minute 42 seconds. PR002's page disagrees with itself. Do not add the lengths into one total.
Did a police officer film a silent orb over Colorado?
The pages say a reporting officer described the phenomenon as silent, with red, blue, and green flashing lights. The timelines say apparent light source. The pages do not say orb. Described is the officer's language, not an AARO object identification.
Did AARO identify the Colorado 2023 police UAP?
No. The label is unresolved. The description is informational only. The camera comment says phone autofocus may distort apparent shape and motion. May distort is not a finding that the object was a light, a drone, or an aircraft.
Is the camera comment a resolution?
No. It is a sensor caveat, the same sentence on all four pages. It does not close the case, and the pages do not say the case remains under active review.
Is this the western U.S. mother-orb case?
No. The mother-orb product is a separate October 2023 unresolved analysis about multi-witness orb reports. These pages are cellphone videos from a law enforcement report. Same month is not the same case. Do not import the commercial-aircraft resolution card either.
Did the Pentagon confirm a speed for the Colorado police videos?
No. Speed is not on these four video pages. Altitude is not on them. A radar check is not on them. News lines that add those details are not used here. This brief did not open an official transcript PDF.
Why does the date say October 1, 2023?
Date Taken is 10.01.2023 and each VIRIN starts 231001. That is a card stamp. The narrative says October 2023 and does not give a clock time. Do not cite October 1 as the witnessed day, and do not cite a headline that calls the four files the same night, unless a transcript says so.
Does this video prove alien craft?
No. The official label is unresolved. A phone-camera caveat, a privacy blur, and an officer description of flashing lights are not an origin finding. Unresolved is not extraterrestrial.
