Documents released on October 23 describe at least three sightings of black triangles over secret military bases in the United States. According to reports, the objects flew at immense speeds, silently and with no visible exhaust.
This was reported by the American website New York Post, based on government documents. The sightings occurred over facilities where new technology is being tested. The objects were not photographed, but the descriptions raise an intriguing question: Can something move at fighter jet speeds without the usual signs of an aircraft?
Fighter Jet Speed
In one instance, witnesses estimated the object traveled approximately 2.4 kilometers in three seconds. Based on their calculation, it flew at a speed of about 2,900 kilometers per hour. This is an eyewitness estimate, not an independent measurement released to the public.
The documents describe at least three incidents during the year preceding the publication. The exact dates and locations were redacted for security reasons.
Heat Signature Without a Hot Spot
Witnesses described black triangles that moved silently and without leaving any visible exhaust. A thermal imaging device showed uniform heat across the object. That is, no hot spot was observed in a specific area, like one that an aircraft or drone engine might create.
The government released sketches of one of the objects, but no photographs. The reports raised concerns due to where they were seen: over sensitive military sites where new technologies are being tested.
What Remains Unknown
The documents do not identify the objects or present a conventional explanation for the sightings. American officials ruled out the possibility that it was US technology and cast doubt on the possibility that it was a craft from another country, as no nation is known to possess such capabilities.
For now, only sketches of black triangles over facilities whose locations have been redacted remain.
