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.

It would take hard, indisputable evidence such as live aliens, actual bodies or mechanical debris to prove that UFOs are actually biological and mechanical entitis that have somehow overcome the speed of light speed limit and somehow travelled the enormous distances from stars to visit earth. Until then if this phenomena is of alien origin then they are radio signals using our atmosphere as a video screen. Earth haas been broadcating first in analog then in digital radio signals traveling the speed of light for over 120 years. Those first transmissions announced our presence, told aliens much about us and perhaps this is their way of responding. Perhaps in the next sixty years or so having become aware of our own technical advances and capabilities,truly wondrous messages will be sent to directly to our computers.

Need more info before making a judgement...

Yeah, that was my first (and second, and third) thought too.

Not even a mediocre photoshop, much less tricky AI.

Oh yeah that's not a photo shopped potato, if it was real it would look like a Tic Tac.....................

Ross Coulthart : "I now know categorically that the tic-tac is Lockheed Martin technology."

In an July 7, 2025, interview with Bryce Zabel, journalist Ross Coulthart revealed the reasons behind the strong secrecy surrounding UAP technologies.

I’m partial to Mongoloid, Freedom of Choice, and Beautiful World. Saw them last year during their tour with the B-52s and Lene Lovich. It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Each act was phenomenal.

2022 and nobody was able to get a real photo of something that hovered motionless.
