Strange triangular craft reported in new U.S. government UFO release
The latest batch of declassified files includes eyewitness sightings from earlier this year of a flying black triangle performing inexplicable aerial maneuvers
The U.S. government recently released a new set of documents pertaining to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) or commonly known as UFOs. This is the seventh installment of such records since May, but they lack any videos or images - only memos and reports of encounters with potential UAP. One of the most comprehensive accounts comes from an undisclosed location where multiple federal law enforcement agents observed a UAP that resembled a matte black triangular shape with an extremely low aspect ratio.
The object reportedly had a wingspan between 13 to 15 feet, length of 6 to 9 feet, and thickness of 1 to 2 feet. According to the witnesses, the craft ascended about 200 to 300 feet into the air over a ridge in just 10 seconds, hovered for 20 seconds before darting off at speeds comparable to fighter jets, weaving through the terrain and disappearing into a nearby canyon.
Interestingly, the craft remained silent during its aerial acrobatics - no roaring engines or whooshing sounds were heard, and there were no visible exhaust plumes or emissions typically associated with powered flight.
However, the agents' handheld infrared monocular picked up a uniform signature across the entire body of the UAP, indicating its presence albeit without any evidence of traditional aircraft features. Optical views through binoculars, on the other hand, revealed no propulsive apertures, rotating elements, rivets, panels, windows, canopy, cabin structures, or protrusions that would typically be found on a conventional aircraft.
While previous releases of such documents have often been met with skepticism by researchers who claim much of the content is either previously seen or has context excluded, Harvard professor Avi Loeb, who heads the U.S. government's UAP Science Advisory Council, believes this report raises crucial questions about national defense.
He suggests that the object could have been manufactured in a "black project" of an adversarial nation or an extraterrestrial project with off-world technology. Loeb's aim for the advisory council is to deploy new sensors in the areas where these UAP were observed, with the hope that better data will help identify the nature of these mysterious objects - either aiding in U.S. defense against adversaries or potentially discovering technology of non-human origin. Investing in such research, he argues, is a win-win proposition.
