In the weird and wonderful world of UFOs, there’s always something that leaves you scratching your head. From flying Tic Tacs to rumored hidden bases, there’s a conspiracy for everyone. Things are only getting weirder, too. The Department of War continues to release files regarding UFO reports over the years.
One of the stranger releases has been the sighting of a potato-shaped UFO hovering over the Cheyenne Mountains in Colorado. The sighting occurred at 9:35 a.m. in 2022. There was a clear blue sky, with no clouds in sight.
To make this instance even more interesting, the sighting wasn’t by some random pedestrians. Instead, it was seen by Army intelligence officers.
“The witnesses describe the object as roughly the size of a large jet and resembling an angular, non-symmetrical potato made of uneven panels,” the recently released documents revealed, via The New York Times. “Whatever it was, it ‘was completely stationary about 300-500 feet above’ the mountains. But ‘slowly appeared to change shape’ and ‘had a slightly translucent, shimmering white appearance, with defined edges and a milky shimmer that reflected sunlight.’”
In typical alien-sighting fashion, the flying potato quickly vanished, never to be seen again.
A Witness Later Described the UFO Sighting to a Sketch Artist
According to The New York Times, one of the witnesses from that day later described the sighting to an FBI agent during an interview. A forensic sketch artist was also present on the scene, drawing the potato-shaped object hovering over the mountains.
“The object was said to be ‘made up of what can best be described as articulating fish scales or panels that were non-symmetrical, non-overlapping, and irregularly shaped.’ And it was ‘perfectly still’ though the panels on it seemed to shift ‘in slow waves starting at different points of origin but at the same time,’” The New York Times reports.
A flying potato would certainly have enough room to fit multiple aliens on a transgalactic journey. We could also assume there may be weaponry of some sort on board. Since the object hasn’t been seen since, we can deduce that the aliens weren’t very interested in what we had going on. Hopefully it stays that way.
