Mysterious "flying triangle" sighting leads new government release of UFO documents
On a recent evening near a secure U.S. facility, three federal agents saw a flying object they couldn't identify: a large "matte black triangle" that moved as fast as a fighter jet, made no sound and then disappeared, according to FBI and Defense Department reports. Why it matters: The 15-foot flying triangle is classified as a UFO-like "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" because the U.S. doesn't…
On a recent evening, three federal agents observed a large matte black flying triangle while patrolling a secure U.S. facility. The triangle, which moved as fast as a fighter jet and made no sound, disappeared without a trace. Classified as an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon (UAP), the incident has caught the attention and concern of intelligence and military officials.
The reports of the mysterious triangle were among 10 documents released by U.S. officials under President Trump's directive to disclose UAP records from all government sources. This marks the seventh release of such documents, some dating back to the 1940s. The flying triangle reports, from this year, are particularly intriguing due to their recent occurrence.
The FBI report, labeled an "Unidentified Aerial Object Observation Report," and the Defense Department's report, classified as an "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" report, both describe the same incident. The observers, including two with extensive operational experience, could not detect any discrete heat sources associated with propulsion on the craft, despite using a thermal monocular for infrared tracking.
One of the released documents does not concern a flying object but rather a declassified 2010 report about the Utah property known as the Skinwalker Ranch. Witnesses have reported unidentified balls of light, sightings of dog-like creatures, unnatural animalistic sounds, and a maggot measuring around 8 feet long and 2-3 feet in diameter. DNA tests from a suspected Skinwalker hair clump revealed it came from a raccoon. The ranch is now the subject of a Netflix show.
Other items in the document release include a 1954 report from a Swedish Transair pilot who witnessed flying saucers, a 1957 B-52 pilot report over Saudi Arabia, 1949 and 1952 UFO reports from California's Catalina Island, and various 1960s records concerning NASA and the Defense Department's handling and public discussion of space vehicle fragments. However, the records released by the administration do not express any conclusions on whether the UAPs represent alien life or a national security threat to the U.S.
