## Key points

- 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.

## Summary

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.
