Cheyenne Mountain is a granite peak near Colorado Springs that houses NORAD's hardened alternate command center; a 2022 sighting over it by Army officers appears in FBI files released in 2026.
Cheyenne Mountain is a granite summit of about 9,565 feet on Colorado's Front Range, rising south of downtown Colorado Springs in El Paso County. Inside it is Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station, a hardened military complex excavated by the Army Corps of Engineers from 1961 and set beneath roughly 2,000 feet of granite. Its fifteen buildings rest on more than 1,000 springs behind a 25-ton blast door. The non-public installation is controlled from nearby Peterson Space Force Base and serves as the alternate command center for NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, alongside missile-warning and space-surveillance units.
NORAD's Combat Operations Center became fully operational inside the mountain in February 1967, and for four decades the complex was the main watch post for aircraft, missile and space threats to North America. Its warning systems also produced false missile alerts in 1979 and 1980, traced to faulty computer chips. NORAD later moved its day-to-day command center to Peterson, and in July 2021 the installation became a Space Force station.
Its place in the UAP record comes from a sighting above the mountain itself. On February 15, 2022, five intelligence officers with the Army's 10th Special Forces Group at neighboring Fort Carson reported a silent, stationary, opalescent object hovering over the mountain for up to two minutes before it vanished; one witness told the FBI it was potato-shaped, with shifting panels, against a cloudless sky. The 2022 Colorado Springs case became public in PURSUE Release 03 on June 12, 2026, with FBI interview records, an artist's rendering and an intelligence analysis. That analysis judged, with low confidence, that sunlight backscattered off snow onto low clouds may have created the appearance of a solid object, and it found no evidence of an aircraft or threat. Former Army intelligence officer Caison Best has since spoken publicly as one of the witnesses.
In August 2026 the New York Post, citing anonymous sources, reported that the Air Force Office of Special Investigations held two cellphone videos of a large black triangle recorded by a service member on consecutive nights in 2023 near a Colorado base. Acting Pentagon press secretary Joel Valdez said officials were "actively investigating" the recordings' whereabouts. Some commentators placed the videos over Cheyenne Mountain, though the reports described only a Colorado base. For more than half a century the mountain has anchored North American aerospace warning, and the 2022 report placed an object that trained military observers could not identify directly over that command site.
[Retweeted] @SeanParnellASW, WHERE ARE THE PHONE VIDEOS OF BLACK TRIANGLES FILMED OVER CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN SF COMPLEX THAT WERE SEIZED BY AFOSI? Are they playing games with you, or are you playing games with us @StephenM? "Two videos, recorded on a service member’s personal cellphone on consecutive nights in 2023, are among the pieces of evidence whistleblowers say still cannot be discussed or released publicly because they remain classified by the Air Force, sources said. Those videos which ca...
Incredible sighting over one of our most critical military bases. Watch the episode now 👇 https://t.co/SsnRwal4WH [Quoted] "Like an AirPod case from thousands of years in the future." That is how former Army Intelligence Officer Caison Best describes the massive, white-porcelain craft with shifting geometric panels that he and his team witnessed over Cheyenne Mountain. https://t.co/DRfngrZxkf

The New York Times described a newly released UFO file involving Army witnesses near Colorado Springs who reported a large, translucent “potato” shaped object over the Cheyenne Mountain military installation. https://t.co/4Qda1dOZFu https://t.co/agGQXTQsku
In 2022, a witness observed an unresolved Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) moving through a clear blue sky directly over the strategic location of Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado. According to official FBI documentation, the witness was later interviewed in July 2024 at 26 Federal Plaza in New York by an FBI Special Agent and a forensic artist from the Operational Projects Unit to reconstruct the event. The resulting image visually captures the sighting, depicting a white,...

February 2022, Fort Carson, Colorado. Five Army intelligence officers reported a stationary, potato-shaped object roughly 300 meters above Cheyenne Mountain. They described a translucent, shimmering surface made of irregular panels that appeared to shift and articulate.
🚨 #UFOFriday is officially a thing. The third government #UAP file drop just went public. One case jumps out: in 2022, five U.S. Army intelligence officers reported a silent, stationary, opalescent “potato-shaped” object over Cheyenne Mountain. #PURSUE3 https://t.co/WUiJKtIYLw
