The transcript is of a video recorded by a law enforcement officer on a westbound interstate in Colorado. AARO removed the audio and redacted the transcript to protect the reporter's identity and sensitive law enforcement information.
Inference · AI interpretation
The word "another" may mean the speaker had seen or reported a similar object earlier, but the visible text does not say so. The radar remark is the speaker's own statement and the page gives no radar data.
