On August 7, the Department of War released a fifth round of documents related to unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) reports – or as they were once called, UFOs – and Colorado Springs was mentioned two more times.

While the reports of both Colorado Springs incidents are heavily redacted, the reports provide at least some insight into what occurred; both reports came with a rendering of what was seen.

One UAP encounter took place in October 2023 between 8 and 9:30 p.m. An unnamed employee working for an unnamed entity in Colorado Springs reportedly walked over to his co-worker and started to admire the stars in the night sky. While looking up, his attention was initially drawn to a bright star, but then he noticed movement in his left peripheral vision. Upon looking to his left, he was “saw what appeared to be a dark-gray colored cloud phasing into his sight.”

He described the cloud as stationary, and after looking at it for a bit, it started to look “very strange, as if it was pixelated or distorted in some other manner.” He kept watching the cloud and witnessed a “constant, diffuse[d] red light on the bottom front point of a solid black triangular shaped object coming out of the cloud towards the south, southeast.” He said the object became wider and larger until it exited the cloud, at which point an entire triangular object with a red light in each corner was seen.

The man estimated the object to be as large as the parking lot in which he stood, three to five stories in thickness. It could move at a speed comparable to that of a helicopter, sitting at an altitude of about 3,000 to 5,000 feet. Suddenly, it accelerated to an estimated Mach 1 or Mach 2, turning slightly as waves surrounded and radiated from the object, creating a sort of mirage effect similar to what’s present when looking down a long, hot stretch of paved road.

He didn’t see, hear, or smell any form of propulsion, as the object appeared to move over a location that’s redacted in the report. The object then abruptly banked to its left, veering right – the opposite of a standard aircraft.

Eventually, the man lost sight of it, and upon looking back to where it had appeared from, the cloud had disappeared, as well.

The second Colorado Springs UAP report included in the latest release also occurred in October of 2023, though the specific date of each respective sighting is redacted. Based on how witnesses describe each UAP and the size difference of the two, they don’t appear to be related.

This second sighting reportedly took place on an October 2023 night around 10:50 p.m. when an unidentified man and his wife were sitting on the back porch of their residence in a n undisclosed area of Colorado Springs. Their porch faced southwest, with the two facing with their backs toward the house looking out.

As the man was looking up at the stars, he suddenly noticed that something had flown over his house from behind him, directionally headed southwest. The object was as low as 300 feet, estimated to be the size of a large SUV.

This object also had a sort of haze or distortion around it, as if he was looking at the object through mist or as if looking at an object underwater through ripples. It appeared to be a perfect triangle, but his viewing angle and the distortion made it difficult to tell – the corners may have been rounded.

It reportedly traveled away from him and his wife with a point of the triangle facing forward, leaving a band of silverish blue light in its wake. It was said to be moving very quickly, covering a large amount of distance while completely silent. About four seconds of time lapsed between when the couple spotted the object and when it was out of sight.

Both of these reports join another UAP sighting report that was made public on June 12, 2026. That sighting occurred in February 2022, when a former U.S. Army intelligence officer and four other members of his unit saw a “potato” shaped UAP over Cheyenne Mountain while exiting their office building amid broad daylight.

Are there actually UAPs floating around above Colorado? Olympic City, U.S.A. sure seems to be getting a lot of mentions as the government continues to declassify related documents.
