Former Pentagon UFO chief disputes FBI black triangle sighting, says reports lack evidence
Former Pentagon UFO investigation chief Sean Kirkpatrick says a reported sighting of a black triangular object by FBI personnel cannot be assessed reliably without photographs or other supporting evidence. He cautioned that witnesses’ professional backgrounds do not make their accounts conclusive, and said the report should not be treated as evidence of extraterrestrial activity.
The recently declassified account describes an object rising above a mountain ridge, hovering for about 20 seconds at an estimated 200 to 300 feet, then appearing to accelerate into a canyon. Kirkpatrick said investigators compare collected data with possible explanations including foreign technology, ordinary objects or sensor effects, and extraterrestrial activity. He said “unresolved” cases often lack enough data for a conclusion, and that most cases reviewed by his office involved ordinary phenomena.
In short
- Kirkpatrick says the FBI sighting lacks evidence for a firm conclusion.
- The object reportedly hovered for about 20 seconds.
- “Unresolved” does not mean a case is inexplicable.
Explained simply
Unidentified aerial phenomena, often called UFOs, are reports of things seen in the sky that have not yet been identified. The term describes the limits of what is known about a sighting; it does not mean the object is believed to be alien.
Sean Kirkpatrick led the Pentagon office that examined such reports. Investigators may consider explanations ranging from aircraft or other ordinary objects to foreign technology or errors in sensors, and need evidence such as photographs or instrument data to assess them.
An “unresolved” report means investigators do not have enough reliable information to identify what was seen. This distinction matters because witness accounts can prompt investigation, but by themselves may not establish what an object was or how it moved.
