Black triangle over a western US security site
In June 2026 two federal agents at a sensitive national security site in the western United States reported a silent, dark triangular object over two days. The report was released in the Pentagon's seventh file batch.

The account
The agents said the object was about 4 to 4.5 m (13 to 15 ft) wide. It rose 60 to 90 m above a ridge, hovered for about 20 seconds and then left at high speed without sound. A third official at another post backed their account. A search of the canyon the next morning found no wreckage, burn marks or damaged plants. There are no photos or videos, only an artist's drawing. AARO and the FBI looked into it, and AARO said it needs further study because it resembles other recent sightings in the western US. The exact location is redacted; the map point is only a rough placeholder for the western US.
The sceptical view
The case rests on eyewitness testimony with no sensor data. AARO has found no proof that any UAP came from outer space, and a small, silent object could also be a drone or other aircraft that the witnesses could not identify.
