Two FBI special agents and a third official witnessed an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) described as a dark, matte black triangle with no visible means of propulsion near a sensitive national security site in the western United States in June. According to newly declassified documents from the Defense Department and FBI, the object hovered over a canyon before accelerating at speeds comparable to military fighter jets without producing any sound or exhaust.
Key Takeaways
FBI agents and a third official reported witnessing a silent, dark triangular UFO near a national security site in the western U.S., according to declassified government documents. The object exhibited unusual flight characteristics, including vertical ascent and rapid acceleration without sound or exhaust. Similar incidents have been reported in the region.

High Consensus| Claim | Status | Reason | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Object Description | Broad Agreement | dark, matte black triangle with no visible propulsion | |
| Flight Characteristics | Broad Agreement | vertical ascent, silent acceleration at fighter jet speeds | |
| Location | Broad Agreement | western United States near national security site |
The witnesses reported that the triangular craft had a wingspan of nine to 15 feet, a depth of six to nine feet, and was one to two feet thick. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) report detailed how the object executed a slow, controlled vertical ascent directly over the ridgeline before hovering for about 20 seconds. Infrared sensors showed no specific hot spots such as an engine or exhaust.
The agents described the craft's movement as perfectly static without tilting, swaying, or wobbling during its ascent and high-velocity phase. The object then disappeared behind intervening terrain into canyon shadows within seconds. A ground survey conducted the following morning found no wreckage, ground scarring, or vegetation damage.
The incident is similar to other reported UAP encounters in the western United States region, according to both HuffPost and CBS News. This sighting marks another entry in a series of declassified documents released under an executive order signed by President Trump earlier this year.
