According to an AARO memorandum for record in the seventh release, two federal special agents described a triangular object that rose vertically, stayed stationary, and then banked and descended into a canyon. A third official, watching from a separate observation post, gave an account that AARO says corroborates theirs.
The agents described the object's shape, color and apparent heat signature, said they saw nothing that looked like conventional propulsion, and heard no sound from it. The memo also records a second sighting the following evening. A ground search afterward found no visible debris or sign of an impact in the area the team could reach.
The same batch includes an FBI record (an FD-302) of an interview with two federal special agents about a June 2026 sighting at a national security site in the western United States. AARO says this case warrants further investigation because the shape and movement the witnesses described closely match other reports from the western United States. The memo does not reach a conclusion about what the object was.
