On October 23, 2026, the Pentagon released its seventh batch of UAP files: 28 documents, all PDFs, with no video or audio. The material ranges from the 1940s to this year, with a focus on black triangles.

The headline case is from June 2026. An AARO memo describes a matte black triangular craft at a sensitive national security site in the western U.S., over two days. Two federal agents were interviewed, and a third official at a separate observation post backed up their account. They described an object about 13 to 15 feet wide and 6 to 9 feet long that climbed 200 to 300 feet, hovered for about 20 seconds, then shot away. The memo records absolute acoustic silence during the fast departure. A ground survey the next morning found no wreckage or damage. AARO and the FBI both investigated. The image circulated with the release is an artist’s recreation, not a photo.

Older items include reports of cylindrical objects over Sweden in December 1953 and Saudi Arabia in January 1957, a 1963 interagency memo on recovering foreign equipment that includes a category for technology nobody could identify, and progress reports from Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, the company behind the Pentagon’s 2008 AAWSAP contract.

The June object is far smaller than the huge triangles of older reports, and small enough to raise the question of an advanced drone. The Pentagon says more releases are on the way.
