The giant potato was sighted at 9:35 a.m. hovering over Cheyenne Mountain.
The year was 2022. It was mid-February, about 50 degrees. The sky was blue. The flying spud, or what looked like one, was sighted by an Army intelligence officer and four members of his unit from Fort Carson in Colorado, according to documents that were among a new tranche of U.F.O. files released by the Trump administration on Friday.

Definitely a racist potato
What’s that printed on it? Looks like a Tylenol.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_(tuber)
Doug, also known as Dug,[1] is a tuber in the Cucurbitaceae family that was grown by Colin and Donna Craig-Brown near Hamilton in New Zealand.[2] Weighing roughly 7.9 kg (17½ lb), it was thought to be the largest potato on record for a period after its discovery, topping the 5 kg (11 lb) record holder at the time. However, genetic testing revealed that Doug is not, in fact, a potato.
This is a case for the Brady Bunch.
“The witnesses describe the object as roughly the size of a large jet and resembling an angular, non-symmetrical potato made of uneven panels,” according to the documents. Whatever it was, it “was completely stationary about 300-500 feet above” the mountains but “slowly appeared to change shape” and “had a slightly translucent, shimmering white appearance, with defined edges and a milky shimmer that reflected sunlight.”
Then, it disappeared.
A couple of years later, during an interview at the FBI’s field office in New York, one of the witnesses described what they saw to a special agent and a forensic sketch artist, who created a picture of what looked like a potato floating over the mountains.
I don’t see a shadow. It looks photoshopped, but I’m no expert.
What happens if it crashes?
Mashed potato.
That’s an artist rendering, and NOT to scale given the witnesses say the potato was the size of a large aircraft.
I noticed that as well. Lighting doesn’t come from the same direction as the rest of the picture..........
It looks like a photo collage. A simple arts and crafts project people used to make using glossy photos from magazines and rubber cement. Good luck finding any reasonably priced magazines now, glossy or otherwise.
I say it looks like a Curling Stone from Canada, but without the carrying handle.
Looks like one of those modern artists of the mid-20th Century.
Joe Biden took a flying leap at the Moon.
Staying consistent with the rest of his life, he missed the mark by a lot.
Lenticular clouds.
Can take very some very interesting shapes.
Hover over mountain ridges.
Sorry to spoil the excitement. ☹️
