New Pentagon UFO files describe a silent black triangle that vanished near a secure U.S. site
Axios reported Friday that a new release of government UFO documents describes three federal agents who, on a recent evening near a secure U.S. facility, saw a large matte black triangle that moved as fast as a fighter jet, made no sound and disappeared, according to FBI and Defense Department reports. The Guardian reported that two senior military observers said they watched a black triangular object flying at extraordinary speed over a sensitive site in the western U.S. earlier this year, in the latest tranche of Pentagon files. The Guardian reported the observers' accounts are anonymous.
The files are firsthand reports rather than analysis, so they show what observers say they saw, not what the object was. The accounts differ in who saw it and when, which the two outlets describe differently.
If you are curious, read the released documents directly rather than summaries.
The curiosity view in the Guardian and Axios is that multiple observers, including two senior military ones, describing silent high-speed objects near sensitive sites merits attention. On this view, the reports are worth follow-up.
The caution view is that the documents record sightings and not conclusions, and the Guardian notes that the observers are anonymous. On this view, the reports cannot establish what was flown.
Confirmed by two outlets: a new batch of documents describes a black triangle at a sensitive site. Not confirmed: whether the Axios and Guardian accounts describe the same event, and what the object was. Watch for the Pentagon's own assessment.
