In the latest UFO files release from the Pentagon, it was revealed that security radar and armed patrols detected an unidentified object in the sky near a Texas nuclear weapons facility. According to a document titled "Pantex Unidentified Object Incident Report," a "diamond-shaped" object was spotted over the Pantex nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility located in Amarillo, Texas, on Sept. 1, 2015. The object was described as hovering in a "non-threatening" manner in a "northerly trajectory at approximately 10-15 mph" for several minutes at close range. Plant personnel were made aware of the flying object and began to follow it in a vehicle for several miles until the object was no longer visible. Some personnel described the "diamond-shaped" flying object as "approximately 4-feet tall and 2-feet wide at the bottom," and "thinner at the top." Per the report, there was conflicting color of the UFO, with some eyewitnesses citing it as black while others described it as blue, red and silver. A video of the incident was obtained by the Ground Surveillance Radar Tower (GSR) and reviewed by Sandia National Labs, a U.S. Department of Energy research and engineering facility. It was noted the object did not come near any "sensitive assets" at the nuclear power plant nor was it maneuvering in a threatening manner and stayed over "unpopulated areas of the plant." The video and report was given to the FBI.

Each news summary is created according to strict standards. Here's how we do it.
Each summary is created using a consistent editorial procedure. The target length is approximately 16 lines of 11-point Arial text in a 650-pixel-wide column. Up to 25% of a summary may be set in bold to emphasize the most important ideas. Summaries are composed of verbatim excerpts presented in the same sequence as they appear in the original news source, with very minor editorial additions. Where material has been omitted between excerpts, the omission is indicated with ellipses (...). Any words added by an editor for clarity or context appear in [brackets]. Our original news editor was Fred Burks. Tod Fletcher edited most summaries from 2007 through 2014, and Mark Bailey has served as news editor since 2014.
