One night in October 2023, a man in Colorado Springs was stargazing with a coworker. Movement in the corner of his eye caught his attention. A strange gray cloud appeared overhead.
A black triangle with a red light at each corner emerged from the cloud. It suddenly accelerated, turned sharply, and vanished. When the man looked back at the spot, the cloud was gone. A short time later, he called his wife, who said his voice sounded robotic.
A Cloud That Looked Glitched
The man described the incident to FBI agents in an interview conducted in 2025. He said he had been looking at a bright star when he noticed movement to his left. He saw a gray cloud that remained stationary and looked distorted or pixelated, as if the image had glitched.
A red light appeared within the cloud. A black triangular object gradually emerged until all three corners and lights were visible. The man estimated that the triangle was as large as the parking lot where he was standing.
The Turn That Changed Its Course
At first, the triangle moved south and slightly east at a steady speed. Then it accelerated almost immediately and changed direction. The man saw it tilt sharply to one side as it turned the other way, then level out again.
Waves appeared around the triangle, reminding the man of the distortion visible above a hot road. He heard no sound and could not tell where the object was moving from. When the triangle passed overhead, he lost sight of it.
The man looked back at the spot where the triangle had emerged. The gray cloud was gone. About a minute later, he called his wife to tell her what he had seen. She said his voice sounded robotic, as if electronic interference were affecting the call.
What Remains Unknown
It is not known what the triangle was or what caused the cloud to disappear. The record documents the man's account, but does not mention an examination of ordinary explanations, another witness, or any documentation of the incident.
The man looked again at the spot where the triangle had appeared. Nothing remained in the sky.
