A newly released batch of federal UFO records describes a black, triangle-shaped craft reported near sensitive U.S. sites on at least three separate occasions, with witnesses saying it moved at fighter-jet speed, made no sound, and showed no obvious means of propulsion. The documents, part of an ongoing government disclosure effort, offer few hard answers — but plenty of unsettling detail.
According to NewsNation, the three reports describe what the FBI and the Pentagon call a black, triangle-shaped craft that flew at an elevation of 200 to 300 feet, measured about 9 feet long, and had a wingspan of roughly 13 feet. Witnesses said the object traveled roughly a mile and a half in less than three seconds near military personnel, with no obvious propulsion mechanism and no sound or lights accompanying it.
A separate account, reported by mezha.net, describes three federal agents near a secure U.S. facility who spotted a large, matte-black triangle roughly 15 feet across that moved as fast as a fighter jet, made no sound, and vanished. The incident reportedly occurred sometime in 2026, though the exact month and day were redacted. One agent used a thermal monocular on the object but did not detect what the report calls discrete heat sources associated with propulsion.
A Craft That Hovered, Then Vanished in Seconds
The release consisted of 10 documents and was the seventh batch under President Trump's order to disclose UAP records.
Crucially, the records released do not conclude whether UAPs indicate the existence of alien life or pose a national security threat to the United States, per the mezha.net report. That caveat applies across the newly released files, including the most dramatic triangle accounts.
The 2023 Colorado Springs Sighting
Among the documents is an FBI FD-302 form describing a 2023 incident near Colorado Springs, according to uapledger.com. The witness reported seeing the entire equilateral triangular object with a red light in each of its three corners, and said it almost instantaneously accelerated to possibly Mach 1 or 2. The FD-302 records an interview conducted in October 2025 about the incident, which the witness placed in October 2023.
Older Cases Add Context, But No Resolution
The triangle reports echo older military encounters included in prior disclosures. CBS News reported that a former military pilot described seeing a huge, silent, equilateral-triangle-shaped object over Bagram, Afghanistan, in 2002, estimating it was about 500 feet in size and moving at a consistent speed of possibly 150 knots with no visible lights. In a separate case cited by the same outlet, Special Operations forces reported observing approximately 25 instances of UAPs during a live-fire exercise in the Gulf of Oman in September 2021, describing them as cold orbs flying at lower altitudes between 250 and 1,300 miles per hour and maneuvering aggressively.
The New York Times has also reported on multiple incidents observed by U.S. federal law enforcement special agents over several days in October 2023, including an orange mother orb described as launching smaller red orbs, and a dark kite-shaped object marked by red and white lights. AARO has assessed the case publicly known as Go Fast as not anomalous and the 2013 Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, object as likely balloons.
Skinwalker Ranch Documents Also Surface
The same release included a 2010 report concerning Utah's Skinwalker Ranch, according to mezha.net.
Beyond the triangle and Skinwalker material, the broader release folded in historical curiosities: reports of cylinder-shaped flying objects dating back to the 1960s and 1970s in Saudi Arabia, Sweden and other locations, alongside 1960s-era NASA documents in which the space agency issued guidance on handling unidentified craft that fall from space, both per NewsNation's review of the files. NewsNation has described multiple waves of Pentagon UFO files, including videos and written reports.
Taken together, the newly surfaced documents add fresh, specific detail — altitude, speed, size, duration — to a recurring pattern of close military encounters with triangular objects that defy easy explanation. But as the mezha.net report makes clear, the records themselves stop short of resolving what, exactly, these craft are or whether they pose any danger.
