FBI-UAP-D028, FD-302, “Dark Triangle with Lights,” 2011
FBI-UAP-D028 is an FBI FD-302 documenting an April 2025 interview with two former U.S. military service members about a low, dark triangular object they reported seeing in June or July 2011.
The FBI interview records a reported June or July 2011 nighttime sighting from a vehicle near a driveway, with two former U.S. military service members describing three lights in the sky and then a massive black triangular object moving north. The object was described as low, slow, roughly 800 feet above ground by one estimate, and about 200 feet long by 100 feet wide based on the witnesses' environment. The witnesses reported three recessed white corner lights, a low humming or pulsing sound, no contrails, and no successful video because the object passed over the tree line before a phone could be used.
