Two witnesses tell the FBI about a huge, low, humming black triangle seen in 2011
2011 · FBI Headquarters, Washington, DC · Sighting · Primary document linked
In an FBI interview in April 2025, two witnesses described an evening in June or July 2011, at about 8 or 9 pm, when, pulling out of a driveway, they saw three lights in the sky. One got out of the car and saw a massive black triangle flying slowly north, with a car-sized white light recessed in each corner and something grayish in the middle. It was low and made a low, pulsing hum, and they saw it for 10 to 15 seconds before it passed over the tree line; it left no contrail. One estimated it was about 800 feet up and 200 feet long by 100 feet wide. They tried to film it but could not get a phone out in time, and believed neighbors also saw it.

Why it matters (2/5)
A recalled multi-witness account in an FBI interview; no investigation or wider attention.
Caveats
The account was given about fourteen years after the event; the place and names are redacted, so the map pin marks FBI headquarters. There is no photograph, and the FD-302 records statements only, with no FBI conclusion.
