Mysterious ‘black triangles’ spotted over sensitive US site, new Pentagon UFO files reveal

The FBI deployed agents equipped with optical and thermal surveillance equipment to observation posts at a sensitive national security site in the western United States, where they reported encountering a silent black triangular object. The agency has declined to provide any explanation for the deployment or the encounter.

A NewsNation report discusses newly released UFO files focusing on 'black triangle' sightings, with analyst Ross Coulthart arguing that the Pentagon likely possesses additional evidence on unexplained aerial phenomena beyond what has been publicly disclosed.

Walter Haut's affidavit regarding Roswell UFO wreckage was re-released as part of the seventh tranche of declassified UAP documents. The content itself is not new, having been previously published.

The seventh tranche of declassified UAP documents includes investigative reports into three sightings of black triangular craft. Experts note that such sightings are part of a long documented history of similar reports.

AARO released a classified military infrared video from March 2025 depicting multiple spherical objects tracked near a submarine in a location not specified but assessed to be military platform-derived. The video shows at least three distinct transit events of areas of contrast over approximately 4 minutes 50 seconds. The uploader's title suggests the objects transition in and out of water. Chain of custody is unsubstantiated, and AARO provides no analytical assessment of the claim.

A serving senior U.S. intelligence official provided a first-hand account in May 2026 of investigating unusual phenomena at a sensitive U.S. military facility in late 2025, describing encounters with unidentified glowing orbs at close and distant ranges from a helicopter vantage point, as well as a high-speed low-altitude object that appeared to split and accelerate in two directions. The account is accompanied by infrared imagery captured by federal officials on the ground during the same event, with materials originally released on war.gov/UFO on 8 May 2026. The official's assessment of object proximity and behavior is based on direct observation but remains unverified by independent analysis.

AARO released a lengthy classified military infrared video allegedly depicting objects over the Persian Gulf, likely from a U.S. military platform in the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The 17-minute 36-second video shows a single area of contrast that becomes difficult to distinguish from background noise, requiring multiple sensor contrast adjustments. AARO did not provide analytical judgment, and chain of custody is unsubstantiated.

AARO released a 46-second classified military infrared video from February 2023 allegedly depicting a U.S. Air Force F-16C shooting down an unidentified object over Lake Huron using an unspecified weapon system. At the 20-second mark, the footage shows two distinct areas of contrast, with the initial subject fragmenting in a radial displacement pattern consistent with a high-energy event. Chain of custody is unsubstantiated, and AARO provides no analytical judgment or confirmation of the incident.

The Pentagon released a new batch of declassified UFO files on Friday, May 8, according to Space.com. The release includes nearly 30 videos showing objects described as a football-shaped body and a misshapen, uneven ball of white light. The files follow earlier public UAP disclosures by the US government, including releases associated with the Pentagon's AARO office. The excerpt does not state the year of release, the recording dates, locations, or the sensors and units that captured the footage. Independent verification of what the objects are remains unresolved, and the excerpt reports no official conclusions about them.

A Guardian review covers Out There, a Welsh YA comedy drama directed by Simon Ryninks in his feature debut. The film follows a teen who believes her dead father was abducted by extraterrestrials, with Michael Sheen in a supporting role. It is a fictional work inspired by West Wales UFO sighting lore.

A Guardian review of the Arles photography festival, Les Rencontres de la Photographie, highlights work by amateurs and lesser-known photographers. The piece references a 1963 claim involving a mechanic from Albuquerque, Paul Villa, who was allegedly invited to photograph an alien spaceship. The account is presented as an alleged event within the festival's broader context rather than as verified evidence.

A Guardian feature examines whether the deaths or disappearances of 11 US scientists tied to top secret research are linked. The piece traces a conspiracy theory about a clandestine operation silencing people who know too much to a bizarre broadcast that rocked Britain in the 1970s. Whether the cases share a common cause is not established.

A Guardian profile reports that Avi Loeb's White House panel on UAP security risks has asked the Pentagon for videos and files on unexplained aerial sightings. Loeb, a Harvard cosmologist, has suggested that alien technology could be present in the solar system disguised as meteors. The panel is described as secretive, and the article characterizes Loeb's approach as beginning from the assumption that UFOs are human-made. The Pentagon's response and the specific files requested are not detailed in the excerpt. Loeb's proposal that alien probes could be disguised as meteors is speculative and lacks confirmed evidence. Mainstream astronomers have generally been skeptical of such claims, and the panel's findings are still pending.
