Key Points:
- In February 2022, an Army intelligence officer and four unit members at Fort Carson, Colorado, reported sighting a large, stationary object resembling an angular, non-symmetrical potato hovering 300-500 feet above the Cheyenne Mountains.
- The object, described as roughly the size of a large jet with translucent, shimmering white panels that appeared to shift slowly, disappeared after being observed.
- An FBI interview with one witness later provided additional details, describing the object as having articulating, irregularly shaped panels that moved in slow waves while remaining perfectly still.
- The Trump administration released these UFO files as part of a transparency effort, but the documents have not significantly advanced the debate over extraterrestrial life.
- Former President Obama acknowledged the possibility of aliens but stated he saw no evidence of contact with extraterrestrials during his presidency.
