In mid-August 2026, the New York Post reported that the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in Colorado holds two cellphone videos of a black, triangular object about 100 feet across. According to the paper’s sources, an unnamed service member filmed it on consecutive nights in 2023 near a military installation somewhere in the state. They said it moved quickly over the mountains and seemed to slip into the clouds.

The sources cited two file numbers. Neither the numbers nor the videos have been verified, and the base was not named.

The Pentagon’s response stopped short of confirming anything. Acting press secretary Joel Valdez said officials were actively investigating where the recordings were, and that anything found would be released through PURSUE, the administration’s UAP disclosure program.

Black triangles are one of the most commonly reported UAP shapes, and a Colorado Springs case from 2023 appeared among the illustrations in the Pentagon’s fifth release on August 7, though that release gave no details about it. Whether that is the same incident is unclear.

For now, the story rests on unnamed sources describing videos nobody outside the government has seen.
