New images show UFO encountered by federal agents this year #shorts

Tony Dokoupil introduces the image with a distinction worth keeping: the large black triangle is depicted by the FBI, not presented as a photograph of the encounter.

In the CBS Evening News Short, Dokoupil says three FBI agents reported seeing the object near a secure U.S. facility earlier this year. The newly declassified account describes something moving as fast as a jet, without noise or a vapor trail, before vanishing. The clip shows the triangular shape above a mountainous landscape but offers no identification of what the agents saw.

That brief account drew about 130,000 views in its first day, roughly seventeen times the channel's usual start for Shorts. Its comment section was also much busier than usual, with the image itself becoming a talking point.

Several viewers question why the picture lacks detail; others compare the silhouette to a paper airplane or a familiar aircraft. Those comparisons are guesses, not identifications. The distinction in Dokoupil's introduction matters here: viewers are looking at a depiction accompanying the agents' account, rather than a clear photographic record of the object.
