This Federal Bureau of Investigation FD-302 interview record, dated January 2026, documents a witness's account of an October 2023 sighting from their back porch in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The witness described a low, silent, translucent triangle about the size of a large SUV, surrounded by a haze or distortion, with a silverish blue band of light on its trailing edge. The witness, who said they were familiar with USAF aircraft, reported that the object crossed the sky in about four seconds and matched nothing they had seen before.

FD-302a(Rev. 5-8-10) '-------- 'On 01 . /2026 ,Page 2 of 3 something had flown over his house from behind him, coming from the northeast, and was moving away from him towards the southwest. The UAP appeared low in elevation, possibly as low as 300 feet . He est i mated it was roughly the s i ze of a large SUV based on h i s elevat i on estimation. From - vie wing perspective, at arm's length, the UAP appeared to be the size of the space between his thumb and pointer finger, which he approximated as 5 inches. - did not thi nk he would have noticed the UAP if it was a cloudy night. - first noticed the object's movement before actually seeing its silhouette . When - first spotted the UAP he thought it appeared almost see-through, and it had what appeared to be a haze or distortion around it. He further described it appearing as if you were looking at it through mist; and that there were ripples like you were looking at an object that is underwater. The UAP looked like a perfect triangle, however because of his viewing angle, he couldn't definitively say whether it was isosceles or equilateral in shape. - stated the UAP could have been either dark gray or silver in color which would have blended into the night sky, and with the surrounding distortion, it may have caused it to have the appearance of being translucent. - thought the triangle had rounded edges and corners, but stated the distortion around the UAP may have made the edges less sharp in appearance. The UAP traveled away from him and his wife with a point forward- facing. As it traveled away from them, along the trailing, flat , back edge, it had what appeared to be a band of silverish blue light. - hypothesized that the light could have been caused by the mode of propulsion for the UAP. The UAP moved in a straight path at a consistent elevation. It moved very quickly and covered a large distance in the short time they observed the UAP. Just before they lost sight of the UAP, the left side of the triangle banked up quickly to an almost vertical orientation, but it did not change path or elevation. The UAP was completely silent, and - did not feel any rumble , static , or any other effects from the object as it passed over him. - residence was near an airport and he frequently observed aircraft, including private planes and helicopters, flying over his house. He was very familiar with how a normal aircraft should appear and sound flying over his house. - witnessed the UAP for a total of four seconds from when he initially saw it to when he lost sight of it to the southwest , potentially over The UAP disappeared from his visua l sight sooner than - expected it should have . - stated the entirety of the observation was so quick he did not have a chance to get his phone out to take a photo or video.
