The UFO Phenomenon

Fresh doubts surround declassified FBI report of 'black triangle' UFO

AARO's former director Sean Kirkpatrick has poured cold water on the alleged incident due to a lack of evidence.
Among some of the most recent files and documents released by the Pentagon are details of a 2026 sighting by FBI personnel who reportedly witnessed a mysterious triangular craft in the sky.

The anomalous vehicle was said to be black in color, non-reflective and exhibited no apparent signs of any engine or other propulsion system. The witnesses claimed that it had risen above a mountain ridge, hovered for a short time and then disappeared at speed into a canyon.

Sean Kirkpatrick, the man who once headed up the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), has told Fox News that he remains unconvinced about the sighting.

In particular, he cites the lack of evidence and a tendency for people to add extra credence to a sighting based on who has reported it, rather than on the strength of the case itself.
"There's a lot of people that like to point to folks as being credible witnesses and therefore their testimony must be taken at face value," he told the outlet.

"Some of this is just, 'hey, I saw something, I don't know what it is.'"

"People sometimes have a tendency to fill that gap with very extreme beliefs that have time and again proven to be inaccurate and fallible."

As for what the FBI personnel actually did see that day - as things stand, all we can do is speculate.
