Pentagon Documents Reveal Federal Agents Encountered Silent Triangular Craft
Pentagon documents reveal federal agents in the western US encountered a silent, triangular aircraft performing vertical climbs and high-speed acceleration.
Federal agents in the western United States encountered a large, silent triangular aircraft earlier this year, according to newly released Pentagon documents cited by CBS News. The disclosure marks the seventh batch of files released under a presidential directive signed by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year, mandating the declassification of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) files.
The latest release comprises 28 PDF documents detailing various sightings. The triangular craft is described in detail within two primary records: a memo from the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office detailing the debriefing of the agents, and a signed statement submitted to the FBI.
The mysterious encounter took place in June near an unspecified national security site in the western U.S. Agents reported observing a dark, non-reflective aircraft shaped like a delta-wing drone hovering over a mountain ridge. Agents estimated the craft's wingspan at 9 to 15 feet, its length at 6 to 9 feet, and its thickness between 1 and 2 feet.
According to the report, the unidentified aircraft performed a slow, controlled, and entirely vertical ascent. It climbed 200 to 300 feet above the mountain ridge while maintaining a static orientation with zero tilt or sway. Investigators noted that the climb occurred in absolute acoustic silence. Viewed through infrared optics, the object appeared warmer than the ambient temperature, exhibiting a uniform thermal signature with no visible exhaust emissions.
After hovering motionless for approximately 20 seconds, the craft accelerated at a speed comparable to a military fighter jet and vanished from sight within seconds. A ground sweep conducted the following morning found no trace of wreckage, debris, or vegetation damage.
The incident adds to previous reports by federal agents in the western region, including a 2023 sighting of orange spheres emitting smaller red orbs. The Pentagon stated that the latest event requires further investigation due to striking similarities in movement and characteristics with prior regional incidents.
