This Consolidated Nuclear Security incident report, sent to the NNSA Production Office with a cover letter dated September 2015, covers an unidentified object at the Pantex Plant near Amarillo, Texas, on September 1, 2015. Ground Surveillance Radar tracked the object moving north at 10 to 15 mph. Protective Force officers followed it off site and described a silent, diamond-shaped object about 4 feet tall with no visible propulsion. The report says the object never appeared threatening, and its video went to Sandia National Labs and the evidence to the FBI.
