Sean Kirkpatrick Disputes 2026 FBI Triangle Sighting, Citing No Supporting Data

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 1

Kirkpatrick said the newly released 2026 FBI account of a black triangular object lacks the photos, raw data or other evidence needed to determine what agents actually saw.
The former AARO director said witness credibility alone is not proof, calling that “authority bias,” and argued that “unresolved” cases usually reflect insufficient data rather than extraterrestrial activity.
AARO sorted sightings into three buckets—foreign technology, misidentified ordinary objects or sensor effects, and extraterrestrial explanations—and Kirkpatrick said none of the cases his office analyzed matched an alien signature.
The War Department told Fox News it would not assess the files and confirmed images attached to the FBI triangle report were illustrations, not photographs, while Kirkpatrick said some cases were publicly labeled unresolved after resolution language was removed.
