A new interactive map from UFO Identified reveals 164 sightings of black triangular UFOs across the UK between 2021 and 2026 [1][3]. These reports mirror recently declassified Pentagon files describing similar craft over US sites [1][3].
The data suggests a pattern of wedge-shaped objects appearing in both British and American airspace. These records follow an executive order by Donald Trump to release Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) files [1][3].
UK database shows triangle surge
Research group UFO Identified has logged nearly 2,000 UFO sightings across the UK over the last five years [1][3].
Roughly one in every 12 sightings involves wedge-shaped or triangular objects [1][3]. While spheres, orbs, and "star-like" objects are more common, the prevalence of triangles has drawn researcher attention [1][3].
These accounts are hosted in the UK UFO Database, a searchable public archive [1][3]. Ash Ellis, founder of UFO Identified, said thousands of people in the UK have seen things they could not readily explain, but reports often vanish once initial interest fades [1][3].
"We wanted to build a serious, easy-to-use public archive that keeps those accounts accessible and allows people to look for patterns for themselves," Ellis said [1][3].
Parallels with US federal files
UK data aligns with declassified US files describing a matte-black triangular object with an estimated 15-foot wingspan [1][3].
Two federal agents at a US "sensitive national security site" reported an object hovering silently roughly 300 feet in the air for 20 seconds in June 2026 [1][3]. It then descended into a canyon at high speed without an exhaust trail [1][3].
British witnesses described similar dark, matte triangles gliding soundlessly at low altitudes over farmland, housing estates, and coastal areas before darting away at high speeds [1][3].
On July 22, 2026, a witness in Stretford, Greater Manchester, reported a large black triangle with red lights on each point hovering for over 30 minutes [1][3].
Other reports include a "perfect triangle" over Chesterfield in Derbyshire, a black V-shaped boomerang along the Fylde coast in Lancashire, and a soundless black wedge over Exmouth in Devon [2][3].
Regional hotspots and historical anomalies
Other phenomena appear in the UK database. In Wales, reports include a "Tic-Tac" shaped object over Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), a pulsating orb over Tonteg, and a "circular disc" over Llandudno [1][3].
These patterns have historical precedents. In 1988, witnesses in Port Talbot, Wales, reported a fast-moving, low-flying triangular aircraft moving toward the coast [9]. The earliest Port Talbot sighting was recorded in 1964 [9].
In 1977, the village of Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire recorded 450 paranormal events in one year [10]. Press dubbed the area the "Terror Triangle," the "Dyfed Triangle," and the "Welsh Bermuda Triangle" [10].
Reports included a dome-topped spaceship that appeared near a schoolyard on February 4, 1977 [10]. One witness described humanoid figures 7 feet tall with silver suits and motorbike visors for faces [10].
Theories on triangular craft
Dr. Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Technological University, says, "Black triangles are described extremely often" [5]. He notes these objects are often described as so black that they absorb light [5].
Masters theorizes these craft may act as "floating fertility clinics" used for the biological extraction of sperm from males and eggs from females [5].
He bases this on historical cases, including a 1977 report from former Air Force medic Terry Lovelace, who described being taken inside a massive triangular craft in Arkansas [5].
What we don't know
- What is the origin of the triangular objects appearing in the UK and US?
- Are the "black triangles" related to military technology or extraterrestrial activity?
- Why do these objects appear near US national security sites?
- Is there a connection between the 1988 Port Talbot sightings and modern accounts?
