FBI Agents Report Silent UFO Sighting Near National Security Site

FBI Agents Report Silent UFO Sighting Near National Security Site

In June, two FBI agents and a third official reported witnessing a dark, silent UFO near a sensitive national security site, according to newly declassified documents from the Defense Department and the FBI. The object was described as a matte black triangle with no visible means of propulsion. It hovered over a canyon before accelerating to speeds comparable to a military fighter jet, all while remaining completely silent.

The documents included several images of the UFO, which the U.S. government now refers to as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). However, it was not specified whether these images were taken during the incident or were artistic renderings created later. The reports detail two sightings over two days, confirmed by the two FBI special agents at one observation post and corroborated by a third official at a nearby location.

While the exact location of the sighting was not disclosed, it was noted to be in the western United States. Witnesses described the object as having a wingspan of nine to fifteen feet, a depth of six to nine feet, and a thickness of one to two feet. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) report states that upon initial visual acquisition, the unidentified craft executed a slow, controlled vertical ascent directly over the ridge line, climbing approximately two to three hundred feet while maintaining a static orientation without tilting or swaying.

Details of the UFO's Appearance

The exterior of the craft was noted to be non-reflective and featureless, lacking any visible propulsive elements, rivets, or windows. During its hover, which lasted about twenty seconds, the agents observed that the object was uniformly featureless, with infrared sensors indicating no specific hot spots that would suggest an engine or exhaust.

Cleared to File

The object resembled a delta wing drone, but the witnesses noted that any drone or aircraft should have been audible from their vantage point, approximately 1.4 miles away. Instead, the object accelerated silently, disappearing behind intervening terrain and into the canyon shadows within seconds. The agents conducted a search of the area but found no evidence of a crash or debris.

The report indicated that this sighting was similar to other reported incidents in the western United States and remains under investigation.
