Colorado Springs Witness Reports Large Black Triangle
A redacted witness reported observing a large black equilateral triangle with red lights at its three corners near Colorado Springs in October 2023. The object was said to emerge from an unusually distorted-looking cloud, accelerate silently, and then disappear from view.
Background
A redacted witness told FBI investigators about an observation near Colorado Springs between approximately 8:00 and 9:30 p.m. on an unreadable date in October 2023. According to the account, a massive black triangle emerged from a stationary cloud that appeared pixelated or otherwise distorted. A diffuse red light was reportedly visible at each corner.
The witness estimated that the object was comparable in size to a parking lot and three to five stories thick. It allegedly moved at roughly helicopter speed before accelerating abruptly and performing unusual banking movements. The witness reported no sound, visible propulsion, or unusual odor.
The account comes from a single witness and was recorded in an FBI FD-302 in 2025. The document verifies that the statement was collected but provides no independent instrumental confirmation of the reported observation.
Significance
The case is timeline-relevant because of its official FBI documentation and detailed description of a large triangular object. Its evidentiary value remains limited by the witness's redacted identity and the absence of independent sensor or image data.
