The U.S. Government to Investigate "100-Foot Triangular UFO Footage" Filmed Over Military Base: What Are the "Two Unreleased Videos"?

In the United States, the debate over unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) is heating up once again.

The focus this time is on two videos reportedly filmed near a military facility in Colorado in 2023.

The footage allegedly shows a massive triangular flying object, approximately 100 feet (about 30 meters) wide. According to eyewitness reports, it wasn't just hovering in the sky. It appeared to move through mountainous terrain and enter clouds, seemingly using the surrounding environment to conceal itself.

The videos have not been publicly released.

However, following reports about these videos, it has been revealed that the U.S. Department of Defense has officially launched an investigation.

The government's aim is not to confirm the existence of "alien spacecraft." The primary concern at this stage is the whereabouts of the two reported videos, how they are being handled, and whether there is any information that can be made public.

This distinction is crucial.

The fact that "the government is investigating" is entirely different from "the government has certified UFOs as real."

Nevertheless, the U.S. government's public acknowledgment of the investigation marks a shift from mere online UFO discussions to a more serious stage.

The mysterious object reportedly filmed on two consecutive nights in 2023

The incident reportedly occurred in 2023.

According to sources, U.S. military personnel used personal cell phones to film an unidentified flying object on two consecutive nights.

The object was said to be a massive triangle.

Its estimated size was about 100 feet. While not as large as a typical passenger plane, it was clearly different in scale from drones or small aircraft.

Even more peculiar was its method of flight.

Reports indicate that the object moved through the mountainous regions of Colorado, using clouds to conceal itself.

If this description is accurate, it naturally raises several questions.

Was it a conventional aircraft?

Could it have been a next-generation aircraft secretly developed by the U.S. military?

Is there a possibility it was a foreign reconnaissance system?

Or did the conditions and distance of filming make its shape and movement appear unusual?

And was it something that UFO researchers most hope for, "something inexplicable by known aviation technology"?

At this point, none of these possibilities can be confirmed.

The primary reason is simple.

The crucial videos have not been released.

Reports indicate specific file numbers exist for the footage

According to the New York Post, sources explain that the two videos are stored with the Colorado branch of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).

The article also reports numbers associated with the footage: "IRR1669S015524" and "IRR1669S005024."

The presence of specific numbers might suggest the existence of the footage itself has been confirmed.

However, caution is needed here as well.

At this stage, the U.S. government has only acknowledged that it is investigating the content reported by the New York Post, and it has not officially verified the contents of the unreleased videos or certified that "a 100-foot triangular object is depicted."

This is one of the most important points to understand about this incident.

Government Spokesperson: "We are investigating"

On the other hand, there are reasons why this story can no longer be dismissed as a simple rumor.

Joel Valdez, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense, stated on X that a government team is investigating the matter following the reports.

Furthermore, he explained that if any information is discovered, it will be released through the government's UAP information disclosure program, "PURSUE."

PURSUE stands for "Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters," a system for the U.S. government to release UFO and UAP-related materials.

Since 2026, the government has released UAP-related materials multiple times through this system.

Thus, if new materials or footage from this investigation are deemed releasable, there is a possibility they will be published on PURSUE in the future.

However, the timing of the release has not been determined at this point.

The announcement of an "investigation" does not necessarily mean "imminent release."

In the past, this time lag in UFO information disclosure has led to significant dissatisfaction.

It is important to be cautious about expectations getting ahead of themselves this time as well.

"Transparent Triangle" already appears in government documents

Interestingly, aside from the two videos reported this time, the U.S. government has already released records of triangular UAP sightings in Colorado in 2023.

The fifth release of PURSUE materials includes a record called "Dark Translucent Triangle."

This is a case reportedly witnessed in Colorado Springs in 2023 and was released as FBI-related materials.

A former government official who testified claimed to have witnessed a triangular object passing over his home.

According to the testimony, the object appeared almost transparent or translucent, with its outline shimmering.

There was a visual distortion like looking at an object underwater, and no wings or engine parts typical of conventional aircraft were observed.

Additionally, there was little to no flight noise recorded.

The sighting itself was brief, and no photos or videos were taken.

The triangular image on the government release page is a digital rendering based on testimony, not an actual photograph.

This should not be misunderstood.

Just because a triangular UFO image is posted on a government site does not mean the image itself is an actual UFO photo.

It is merely a visualization of the witness's description.

Is it the same object as the "two videos"?

A natural question arises here.

Is the "transparent triangle" reported in Colorado in 2023 the same as the "100-foot-class black triangle" currently in question?

There are commonalities in timing, region, and triangular shape.

However, with the currently available information, the two cannot be directly linked.

Details necessary for comparison, such as the sighting date, specific location, and flight path, are lacking.

While the existence of multiple similar testimonies is intriguing, concluding "they are the same object because they are similar" is premature.

Rather, this point should be confirmed in future material releases.

Why "Triangular UFOs" Captivate People

Even those not well-versed in UFO history might find the term "black triangle" somewhat familiar.

Giant triangles, lights positioned at the corners of the craft, slow flight, and quiet movement.

Sightings of UFOs with these characteristics have been reported worldwide for decades.

As a result, the recent reports from Colorado are often associated with a series of sightings known as "Black Triangles" on social media.

However, the triangular shape is not exclusive to unknown spacecraft.

In the world of military aviation, aircraft with unique flat shapes exist due to their relationship with stealth technology that reduces radar reflection.

Therefore, within the UFO research community, there has long been a strong theory that "some of the Black Triangles might be secret military aircraft."

Even if the object in question exists, its identity is not necessarily the technology of an extraterrestrial civilization.

On social media, voices express "This is big news"

The recent reports have also become a topic of discussion in UFO communities on Reddit.

What particularly caught attention was the government spokesperson's acknowledgment of the investigation.

Posts immediately following the report expressed hope, stating, "If the government truly investigates and releases through PURSUE, it would be a significant development."

There are also opinions along the lines of "Many are pessimistic, but I want to be hopeful this time."

For those who have long demanded UAP information disclosure, the fact that the government has recognized the report and declared an investigation, rather than just anonymous sources claiming "the footage exists," seems significant.

Additionally, given that multiple triangular sighting materials have already been released through PURSUE, some users speculate, "Could it be that the previously isolated sighting information is beginning to connect?"

However, these are merely speculations by social media users and not the government's conclusion.

"We want footage, not renderings" dissatisfaction

On the other hand, precisely because it is a community with a high interest in UFOs, there are surprisingly many critical reactions.

Regarding some of the triangular UAPs released through PURSUE being digital renderings based on testimony rather than actual footage, users express dissatisfaction, saying, "We want actual footage, not illustrations."

The same applies to the current incident.

The opinion that "If there really are two videos, they should be released before discussions" is prominent.

This is an issue that goes beyond whether one believes in UFOs or not.

If footage exists, only by examining the shooting date, original file, resolution, location information, shooting equipment, and editing history can scientific and technical discussions become possible.

With only short videos recompressed on social media, it is difficult to make definitive judgments about unidentified lights or objects.

Especially now, when generative AI and advanced VFX have become commonplace, merely stating "there is footage" does not constitute definitive evidence.

Therefore, there is a strong demand for the release of original data.

"Could it be a secret military aircraft?" realistic speculation

On social media, some users speculate that it might be a secret U.S. military aircraft rather than extraterrestrial life.

The location near a military base particularly strengthens this speculation.

If a new type of aircraft or reconnaissance platform is being tested, it would not be unusual for its details to be classified.

Furthermore, triangular or delta shapes have been used in aircraft design.

For this reason, there is a certain perspective that "even if an unusual object exists, it might be human-made."

On the other hand, there is also the question, "If it were a normal secret aircraft, why have similar triangular UFO testimonies continued for years?"

The debate remains at an impasse.

And with the information currently available, there is insufficient material to support either theory.

Skeptics emphasize "the provenance of the footage"

In discussions about UFO-related footage on social media, the importance of "provenance," or the origin and history of the footage, is repeatedly emphasized.

A vast amount of striking UFO footage is posted online.

However, to determine authenticity, information about "who shot it, when, where, with what equipment, and how the file was stored afterward" is more important than the footage itself.

In another discussion on Reddit about a UFO footage, many opinions suggest that merely having footage on a camera does not prove authenticity, and original data is needed.

Nowadays, not only CG but also generative AI can create footage.

Therefore, a much higher standard of verification is required to treat it as credible evidence than just a video post.

If these two videos are indeed original data stored by a government agency, then the situation may be significantly different from typical social media videos.

This is why whether the government can confirm their location and authenticity is being closely watched.

"UAP ≠ Aliens"

The most important thing to avoid with this news is the simplistic interpretation that "the U.S. government is trying to acknowledge the existence of aliens."

UAP refers to anomalous phenomena whose identity cannot be determined at present.

"Unidentified" is not synonymous with "extraterrestrial civilization."

In fact, cases published by the U.S. government's UAP investigation agency, AARO, include instances later identified as balloons or birds.

On the other hand, there are cases that remain unresolved due to data shortages and other reasons.

AARO currently maintains the position that it has not confirmed any verifiable evidence indicating extraterrestrial technology.

Scientifically speaking,

"unknown identity"

and

"alien spacecraft
