(COLORADO SPRINGS) — On Friday, Aug. 7, the U.S. Department of War released the fifth set of records of incidents related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), with two incidents connected to Colorado Springs.
2023 Dark Translucent Triangle
In October 2023, at around 10:45 p.m., a man and his wife were sitting on the back porch of their home in Colorado Springs. The porch faces toward the southwest, and the couple were sitting with their backs towards the house. As the man was looking up, he noticed that something had flown over his house from behind him, coming from the northeast and moving away from him towards the southwest.
The witness recounted that the alleged UAP appeared low in elevation, possibly as low as 300 feet. He estimated it was about the size of a large SUV based on his elevation estimation. The man said he did not think he would have noticed the UAP if it was a cloudy night. When the UAP was first seen, the man described a sort of haze or distortion around 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 was described as appearing like a perfect triangle, either dark gray or silver in color, which would have blended into the night sky with the surrounding distortion. The UAP traveled away from the couple, and as it traveled away from them, it had what appeared to be a band of silverish blue light.
As the UAP moved out of sight, the man saw the left side of the triangle bank up quickly to an almost vertical orientation, but it did not change path or elevation. The couple lived near the airport, and the man was familiar with all U.S. Air Force aircraft, including the latest drones, and the UAP did not match anything he had encountered before.
2023 Large Triangle with Red Lights
In October 2023, between 8 and 9:30 p.m., a man working in Colorado Springs walked over to his co-worker and looked up, admiring the stars on a clear night. As the man was looking, he noticed a very bright star in the sky, which initially drew his attention. The man observed the star for about five to 10 seconds when he noticed movement in his left peripheral vision. He looked further up and to his left and saw what appeared to be a dark-gray colored cloud phasing into his sight…
