Five U.S. Army service members reported seeing a large, shimmering white, potato-shaped object hovering over Cheyenne Mountain [1].
The sighting is part of a broader release of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) files by the Trump administration, highlighting continued government scrutiny of unexplained aerial events.
According to the documents, the incident occurred on Feb. 15, 2022 [1]. The personnel were located near Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado, when they observed the object [2]. The files describe the figure as having a distinct potato-like shape and a shimmering white appearance [3].
The object hovered over the mountain for up to three minutes [1]. After this period, the object vanished from sight [1].
These records were made public as part of a larger set of UFO files that include descriptions of glowing orbs, and spinning discs [3]. The release provides a glimpse into the types of encounters reported by military personnel in sensitive regions, such as the Cheyenne Mountain complex, though the nature of the object remains unidentified [2].
The reports from the five service members [1] are now available for public review following the administration's decision to declassify the materials [3].
“Five U.S. Army service members reported seeing a large, shimmering white, potato-shaped object.”
The release of these documents reflects an ongoing shift in transparency regarding UAP sightings within the U.S. military. By documenting specific encounters over strategic locations like Cheyenne Mountain, the government acknowledges the reality of these sightings while the lack of a definitive explanation suggests a gap in current aerial surveillance or atmospheric understanding.
