UFO Files Reveal Fast Black Triangles Over US Bases
WHO:
The Guardian - The two observers were described as anonymous sources with “extensive operational experience working alongside government agencies.”
The Guardian - Greg Eghigian, a Penn State University professor of history and bioethics and author of *After the Flying Saucers Came: A Global History of the UFO Phenomenon*, said the images added nothing substantive to the report.
WHAT:
The Guardian - The Pentagon release included nine identical images of a canyon, with small triangular silhouettes added to illustrate the object’s reported movement; the outlet said the batch contained fewer than 25 text documents and no videos or images.
The Guardian - The observers’ report said the object lacked the characteristics of a conventional military aircraft and disappeared without an exhaust trail or other evidence of its existence.
NY Post - Newly released White House documents detailed a series of alleged UFO encounters on Catalina Island.
CBS News - The Pentagon’s latest UFO/UAP file release contained 28 PDF files and was the seventh disclosure under an executive order.
CBS News - Agents estimated the triangular craft’s wingspan at 9 to 15 feet, depth at 6 to 9 feet, and thickness at 1 to 2 feet.
CBS News - The craft climbed 200 to 300 feet vertically, hovered motionless for about 20 seconds, then accelerated to a speed compared with that of a military fighter jet.
CBS News - Agents reported the craft had a consistent thermal signature across its airframe and no visible exhaust gases. A search the following morning found no wreckage, ground scarring, or vegetation damage.
CBS News - AARO said the incident warranted further investigation because its reported features and movement profile closely aligned with other reported incidents in the western United States.
Drudge Report - The article’s headline says mysterious black triangles were spotted over secret U.S. military bases.
NY Post - A UFO file dump reportedly revealed black triangle objects traveling at speeds of up to 1,800 miles per hour.
NY Post - The objects were reported to have no vapor trails.
WHERE:
CBS News - The encounter occurred near an unspecified national security site in the western U.S.; the agents saw the craft above a ridgeline a few miles west.
Drudge Report - The reported sightings were over secret U.S. military bases.
NY Post - The reported sightings were over secret U.S. military bases.
WHY:
The Guardian - Trump’s disclosure order followed allegations made in Congress in 2023 by a former intelligence official that successive administrations covered up information and that the government possessed crashed alien spacecraft.
HOW:
CBS News - The agents said the craft ascended and traveled at high velocity in “absolute acoustic silence.”
NY Post - The objects were described as speeding at up to 1,800 miles per hour without vapor trails.

The Pentagon’s latest release of UFO files describes a triangular craft spotted near a national security site in the western United States. Agents estimated it was 9 to 15 feet across and said it climbed hundreds of feet, hovered silently for about 20 seconds, then accelerated at a speed compared with a military fighter jet. They reported no exhaust or vapor trail, despite a consistent thermal signature across the craft. A search the next morning found no wreckage or signs of impact. The Pentagon disclosure included 28 PDF files and was the seventh under an executive order issued by President Trump, following allegations of a government cover-up. The release included nine identical canyon images with added silhouettes, but a historian said they contributed nothing substantive. The Pentagon’s UAP office said the incident warranted further investigation because it resembled other reports in the western United States.

The Pentagon has released 28 files about unidentified aerial phenomena, the seventh disclosure under an executive order. One report describes agents observing a triangular craft near a national security site in the western United States, above a ridgeline a few miles west. They estimated its wingspan at 9 to 15 feet, its depth at 6 to 9 feet, and its thickness at 1 to 2 feet. The craft climbed 200 to 300 feet, hovered for about 20 seconds, then accelerated at a speed compared with a military fighter jet. Agents said it moved in absolute acoustic silence, with no visible exhaust or vapor trail, and a consistent thermal signature. The next morning, investigators found no wreckage, ground scarring, or damaged vegetation. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office said the incident warranted further investigation, citing similarities to other reported encounters in the western United States.

Reports of mysterious black triangle-shaped objects over secret U.S. military bases have drawn renewed attention to unidentified aerial sightings. A file release reportedly describes the objects traveling at speeds of up to 1,800 miles per hour. The accounts also say the triangles left no vapor trails as they moved. The reported sightings took place above restricted military locations, though no specific bases are identified in the information available. The objects’ unusual shape, reported speed, and lack of visible trails are the key details described in the accounts. The reports do not establish what the objects were or who operated them. They also provide no further explanation of how the sightings were documented. For now, the black triangles remain unidentified in the reported file details.
