The Pentagon’s seventh UAP release describes a silent black triangle near a sensitive site

The Pentagon posted 28 more files to its UAP collection on October 23, the seventh release under PURSUE, the government’s program for declassifying records of unidentified anomalous phenomena. All 28 are documents. This release has no video or audio.

The triangle

The newest records describe events from this year. A memorandum from AARO, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, and an FBI interview report describe a triangular, matte black object seen near a sensitive national security site in the western United States over two days in June 2026. Two federal special agents were interviewed, and a third official at a separate observation post gave a corroborating account.

The witnesses put the object at 13 to 15 feet wide, 6 to 9 feet long and 1 to 2 feet thick. According to the reports, it rose 200 to 300 feet above a ridge, hovered for about 20 seconds, then moved away horizontally at high speed with no sound anyone could hear. A ground search the next morning found no wreckage, scarring or damage to plants. AARO judged the case worth further investigation.

The older files

Other records are decades old. Air Intelligence Information Reports describe cylindrical or elliptical objects over Sweden on December 17, 1953, and over Saudi Arabia on January 18, 1957. A May 1963 interagency memo on handling recovered foreign materiel includes a category for technology that cannot be identified, and correspondence from 1962 to 1964 concerns space fragments and recovered craft.

The release also includes records from Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, the contractor that ran the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program from 2008: its project plan, monthly reports from 2009, a 2010 self-assessment and a witness sketch of a domed, disk-shaped object dated November 2, 2009.

Also in the batch is a 2002 affidavit attributed to Walter Haut, the public information officer at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947, describing a July 1947 staff meeting about wreckage found on a ranch. It sits inside a 2008 report by a Defense Intelligence Agency contractor, and its account was published before, in a 2007 book.

None of the files settles what any of the objects were.

“The collection continues to be housed on WAR.GOV/UFO, and the Department will release additional files on a rolling basis,” said Sean Parnell, the department’s chief spokesman.
