Five Colleagues Saw a White Object Over Cheyenne Mountain

A former U.S. Army intelligence officer stepped out of a building with four members of his unit. Above Cheyenne Mountain, near Colorado Springs, they saw a white object shaped like a potato.

The object stayed in place, while parts of its surface rippled. About two minutes later, it vanished in the time it takes to turn your head. The incident was reported to the FBI. Later, the witness was asked to describe what he saw so an artist could draw it.

A Potato With Scales

The incident took place in 2022. In 2024, the witness gave FBI personnel his account so an artist could draw the object based on his description. The document says that was the purpose of the interview.

The object had sharply defined edges. It was milky white, slightly translucent, and faintly shiny. The witness compared the parts on its surface to fish scales or plates.

The parts varied in shape and did not overlap. The object itself remained motionless, while the parts on its surface moved in slow waves. The waves began in different places but moved at the same time.

Then It Simply Vanished

After about two minutes, the object did not fly away or descend behind the mountain. The witness said it vanished in the time it takes to turn your head. He said it cast no shadow.

The other four members of the unit saw it, too. The document does not detail what each of them saw, but the witness gave his account to help an artist draw the incident.

What Remains Unknown

It is not known what the object was or what caused it to disappear. The document records the witness’s account but offers no other explanation for what he saw.

An object hangs above the mountain, its surface rippling. Then, in an instant, it vanishes.
