On the public record, and still open. A claim, paper, or film — not a finding that it was ours, and not a finding that it was not.

Silent black triangle, red lights, ten minutes over La Conner.

What was claimed

Two people walking near the water described a silent black triangle with red lights at each corner, held for about ten minutes.

What is on the record

This file is a working record — a report, not a verdict. Official paper, if any, is linked where we have it.

On 13 August 2026, walking near the water at La Conner, Washington, a witness first noticed a hum with no identifiable direction, then the surrounding environment going dead silent — even the sound of the water, they wrote. Looking up, they saw a black triangular craft with red lights at each vertex, high enough to appear the size of a chip at arm’s length, estimated 3,000 to 4,000 feet. A faint red glow on the underside. It held position for roughly ten minutes. A second person was present. NUFORC published the account.

Both witnesses later mentioned a sensation of awe. Aircraft, a drone show, and a story that grew are possible. The file is two people, a triangle, and ten minutes of silence. Not a verdict.

Could this have been ours?

The known sky, that night.

The station, the trains, and the rest of the known sky were already there. Hold the claim next to them.

Always

Aircraft, balloons, meteors

Landing lights, flares, lanterns, reentries, fireballs. They are on the known sky. They do not close a file by themselves — they are what a serious look has to hold the claim against.
