The latest batch of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) reports from the Department of War includes an incident in 2022 in which five members of the U.S. Army reportedly saw an object shaped like a potato hovering over Cheyenne Mountain.
The most recent batch of evidence, which was released on Friday, June 12, was the third such release since President Donald Trump directed his administration to fully disclose what it knows about alien life and mysterious objects in the sky.
One incident within the release took place in Colorado Springs in 2022, when a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, along with four other members of his unit, observed a UAP over Cheyenne Mountain. The witnesses were reportedly walking out of an office building shortly before noon on a clear February morning, and described no clouds in the sky.
“The object was ‘potato’ shaped with distinct edges and appeared to look painted in a creamy/whitish opalescent color. It was somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer,” states a partially redacted report by the FBI detailing the 2022 sighting. “The object was made up of what can best be described as articulating fish scales or panels that were non-symmetrical, non-overlapping, and irregular shaped. The object itself was perfectly still, but each panel on the object shifted in slow waves starting at different points of origin, but at the same time.”

Maybe we are being invaded by Idaho.
The object itself was perfectly still, but each panel on the object shifted in slow waves starting at different points of origin, but at the same time.
Maybe it could get a job on one of the mornings shows as a regular newscaster. Not a special reporter, just a
common tater!!
Lol. This is ridiculous! A potato-shaped UFO? And there’s a picture of it....oh wait, it says it’s an artist’s rendition of what it looked like.
A UFO with a really low-res camera aboard = “potato UFO”.
(Or for Dan Quayle a “potatoe UFO”)
Yes, he would be a potato chip off the old block!
It’s the clone from Dune, Duncan Idaho!!
“”an object shaped like a potato””
I hope the writer DOES realize potatoes come in all shapes and sizes....
In 2022, didn’t every one of the 5 have a camera in their pocket?
The whole disclosure business is an embarrassment.
Like a cloud?
I draw the line with eggplant. I don’t care how much I’ve had to drink.
Yep.
OTOH, this makes my novel even more pertinent. 😁
A quote from the article:
“ I thought it was pooping on me, but it turned out to be just bacon bits and sour cream!”
And in case you are wondering, the chives never made it through the hyper jump.
Like a cloud?
That’s actually an artist rendition from a report, not an actual picture of the cloud
Lenticular cloud would be my guess.
That’s not a potato. Maybe an iced eclair. Maybe a white beret? I don’t see how anyone could see that and think a potato. Unless they were thinking mashed potatoes. But then it wouldn’t be in that shape . . . .
