Official Review Underway
The New York Post reported on August 15 that the Department of War is actively investigating last week's allegation that two cellphone videos of a large triangular object were recorded near a Colorado military base in 2023 and remain in Air Force custody. Acting Pentagon Press Secretary Joel Valdez said the department would release what it finds through the PURSUE portal.
The new statement advances the story from an allegation reported by unnamed sources to a government review of that allegation. It does not establish that investigators have located the videos, authenticated them, or confirmed the descriptions attached to record numbers IRR1669S015524 and IRR1669S005024. No release timetable has been announced.
Why it matters
A public commitment tied to specific record numbers creates a testable next step: investigators can now watch for a located file, chain of custody, metadata, full-resolution media, and the government's eventual assessment.
What the source establishes
Confirmed: the Department of War says it is looking into the report. Not yet confirmed: the videos' existence, authenticity, contents, alleged dimensions, flight behavior, or origin.
