This Federal Bureau of Investigation FD-302 interview record, drafted in April 2025, documents a UAP sighting from June or July 2011. Two witnesses whose names are redacted described seeing a massive black triangular object at about 8 or 9 PM while leaving a driveway. It had a car-sized white light in each corner, flew low and slowly north with a pulsing hum, and was visible for 10 to 15 seconds. One witness estimated it was 800 feet up and 200 feet long.

triangle shaped object flying North. The object had a car- sized white l ight
in each of its three corners that emitted a diffuse gl ow and were recessed
back a bit from the corners . The object was l ow to the ground , and creating
a l ow humming noise that made a pu l sing sound. told him to
take a video , but by the time - got his phone out, the object had flown
over the tree line behind the houses to the north , and out of s i ght . He had
seen the object for approximate l y 10- 15 seconds . There were no contrai l s
left behind the object. - fe l t dumbfounded and awestruck during the
experience .
When 111111 observed the object , he was overwhelmed by the size of it and
how low it was to the ground. 111111 thought the object may have been 800
feet above the ground , and based on the dimensions of their environment, he
estimated the object was 200 feet long and 1 00 feet wide . 111111 believed the
object had more of an equilateral triangle shape , but based on the
cal cul ated dimensions , it could have been more of an isosceles triangle.
The object was moving slowly and steadily, and he also heard the pulsing
sound . 111111 saw the three lights in t he corners , but also remembered seeing
something in the middle of the triangle that was grayi sh or graphite
colored.
Neither 111111 nor - had a clear memory of the thickness or any other
description of the vertical profile of the triangle. They opined that they
were in i tially underneath the triangle and didn't really have a view of its
side or vertical profile . They were then temporarily distracted by their
unsucces s ful attempt to get a phone out to video record the UAP, at the
moment when they likely would have had a better view of the back profile .
111111 believed a couple of people in the neighborhood also saw
would also would try to see if as wel l as their neighbors
who witnessed the UAP , would be willing to writ e a statement about their
observation, or speak to the FBI about it .
