Lead report from NewsNation
What happened
The Pentagon and FBI have released a new batch of documents regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena. The files include reports from federal agents who witnessed a silent, fast-moving black triangular craft near a sensitive site in the western United States earlier this year. News outlets across the political spectrum covered these newly released government files.
Outlets agree that the government recently released new files concerning UFO sightings, which include accounts of a mysterious black triangular object observed near a secure site.
Left-leaning outlets like The Guardian and Axios emphasize anonymous military observers and federal agent accounts detailing the object's speed and silence.

The Right outlet, The Daily Signal, similarly highlights the federal special agents' sighting from the Department of War release.
