Whistleblowers are furious that the two classified videos of a monstrous black triangular craft racing over a U.S. military base, then vanished into the clouds, remain locked away.
The videos allegedly showing a strange 100-foot black triangular UFO streaking over a US military base in Colorado remain hidden behind a wall despite President Donald Trump’s new directive to encourage UFO whistleblowers to come forward.
A service member allegedly recorded the footage on a personal cellphone on two consecutive evenings in 2023,. It is said to show the enormous craft racing over mountains and appearing to be camouflaging itself inside clouds.
Three years later, however, the videos have still not been declassified. Sources familiar with the footage said the recordings remain classified by the Air Force and are being kept by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations in Colorado.
The alleged footage is identified by file numbers IRR1669S015524 and IRR1669S005024, according to sources.
And for UFO whistleblowers who have spent years trying to pry into alleged government knowledge of mysterious craft and bring it to the public, Trump’s latest order has done little change the situation. “Nothing has changed,” former US Air Force veteran and defense contractor Dylan Borland told The Post. “This does nothing for the people who could have come forward and spoken already. Nothing has changed.”
The explosive claims come as Washington faces fresh pressure to reveal what the US government knows about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).
Trump’s order was to make it easier for people to report any information they know to executive branch agencies by easing certain nondisclosure restrictions.
That is not enough, however, whistleblowers said. They said those who already tried to speak up are still unable to publicly reveal what they know.
Borland knows the frustration himself. In 2024, he testified before Congress that he saw a massive triangular craft hovering silently over a NASA hangar. According to him, the strange object stayed there for several minutes without making a sound before shooting upward to the altitude of commercial aircraft in seconds.
With years of meetings and testimony behind closed doors, now, Borland says his patience runs low. “I’ve done the committees, done private meetings,” he said. “At this point, unless I’m speaking under oath to the public, what’s the point?”
The classified Colorado videos allegedly give UFO investigators close‑up visual evidence that they can independently examine — making them potentially significant.
Sources familiar with the recordings said the craft appeared black and triangular and, according to estimates, it was around 100 feet across. The videos allegedly show it racing above mountainous terrain before it appeared to camouflage itself in the clouds.
Those claims, however, cannot currently be independently verified because it remains classified.
Matthew Brown, another former defense contractor, also accused the government of concealing evidence of UFO programs.
Brown went public in early 2026 on the Weaponized podcast, detailing what he had previously told Congress and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence behind closed doors. He claimed the Pentagon ran a secret program called ‘Immaculate Constellation,’ which gathered UFO data and took part in recovering mysterious craft.
Brown says Trump’s new order does not solve the problem. He said Trump’s directive “doesn’t do anything new,” adding that “it does not free whistleblowers to speak publicly.”
Both Brown and Borland alleged that they faced professional backlash after their attempt to raise the issue through official channels.
Borland claimed to have problems involving his security clearance, workplace harassment, and damage to his career after he came forward. Brown alleged he lost his job as a defense contractor and portrayed him to reporters as an antisemite. He questioned why officials assigned a key role to the All‑domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and ODNI in the investigation.
“AARO and ODNI should not have any leadership role in this project as they have discredited themselves,” Brown said.
The controversy highlights the paradox of America’s UFO debate. Officials say whistleblowers should come forward. But whistleblowers say they have already come, alleging the government locked away the most important evidence.
With no changes in sight despite Trump’s order, the public is left with testimony about videos they cannot see and extraordinary claims they cannot verify. And that, according to whistleblowers, is the problem.
