The memo records investigators' interview with federal agents who observed a non-reflective, matte black triangular craft approximately 4-5 meters in size. The object reportedly executed a slow vertical ascent, hovered with no tilt or wobble, produced absolute acoustic silence and no visible exhaust or propulsion, then accelerated rapidly. No cockpit, lights, or conventional aircraft features were observed. Ground search found no debris. The document is one of 28 files in the October 2026 release tranche, focusing on unresolved UAP cases per departmental policy, and includes illustrations from witness statements. It does not attribute the object to any specific origin.
