OFFICIAL RECORD
Released Pentagon files detail Bigelow company's work logging UFO sightings and planning underground storage facility
Among the documents in the Pentagon's seventh batch of declassified UAP files are six previously unreleased monthly reports from Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), the company that ran the Department of War-funded AAWSAP programme between 2008 and 2010. The reports show the company's staff grew from 40 to more than 45 over 2009 and describe a database of 234,364 sighting reports going back to 593 BC, including records from Robert Bigelow's Skinwalker Ranch property. The files also describe plans for a buried, 5,000-square-foot facility with three-foot-thick walls intended to store recovered hardware and biological samples, and commissioned papers on subjects including warp drives and wormholes.

REPORTED CLAIM
Walter Haut's Roswell affidavit resurfaces, partly redacted, in Pentagon's latest UAP file release
A 2002 affidavit by Walter Haut, the public information officer who announced the 1947 Roswell 'flying disc' recovery before the Army switched to a weather-balloon explanation, has appeared in the Pentagon's seventh batch of declassified UAP files, according to NewsNation. In it, Haut says he was shown a metallic, egg-shaped object and two small bodies under a tarpaulin in a hangar, along with thin but strong metal foil bearing unusual markings, and states he believed what he saw was a craft and crew from outer space. The affidavit had previously surfaced in a 2007 book; NewsNation reports the newly released government copy is partially redacted and references two possible crash sites.

REPORTED CLAIM
Wyoming hunter says 2003 black triangle sighting matches newly released Pentagon files
Gary Medicine Cloud, from the Wind River Reservation, says that while hunting in the Wind River Range in 2003 he watched a silent, matte-black triangular craft around 20 to 40 yards long pass low over the mountains twice before climbing vertically into the sky. He told Cowboy State Daily it made no noise and showed no lights. He says the Pentagon's newly released seventh batch of UAP files describes near-identical silent, triangular objects making the same vertical-ascent manoeuvre. A researcher quoted in the piece offered a speculative theory about the craft's purpose, which the article does not treat as established fact.

OFFICIAL RECORD
Pentagon publishes seventh batch of declassified UAP files, including silent black triangle case
The US Department of War published its seventh release of declassified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena files under the PURSUE programme on 23 October, adding 28 documents to the archive at war.gov/UFO. The most detailed new case, drawn from an AARO memo and a signed FBI statement, describes federal agents near an undisclosed western US national security site in June watching a dark, triangular object roughly 9 to 15 feet across hover silently, then climb vertically and depart at high speed. The agents wrote that the ascent happened in "absolute acoustic silence" with no smoke, dust or impact signature. The department says the case remains unresolved and will continue releasing files on a rolling basis.
