AARO’s 2026 witness debrief records law-enforcement reports of a silent, matte-black triangular object seen visually and through thermal equipment. The account describes a vertical rise, hover and rapid canyon descent, while explicitly cautioning that these are witness interpretations; speed was not instrumentally measured, and a subsequent ground survey reportedly found no physical trace.

This redacted 2026 FBI record reproduces two special agents’ statement about a dark triangular object observed visually and through a handheld thermal device. It records estimated dimensions, a vertical rise, a southeast descent, no detected sound and about three seconds of visibility. Nine accompanying landscape illustrations depict an object’s changing position; they do not supply authenticated sensor measurements or identify its origin.

FBI-UAP-PR007, “Slow-moving Objects,” 2026
A U.S. Government Special Agent captured this video footage via hand-held optical thermal imaging device during a 2026 incident in the western United States, as described in FBI-UAP-D032. The footage features two, slow-moving “black-hot” areas of contrast, visible in infrared imaging.
