Air Force Guard Takes His UFO Sighting to the FBI

It was massive. It was invisible. I don't know any technology that we currently have or at the time that would replicate that. A craft that size drifted over the base that runs America's GPS satellites and the three armed guards who watched it never reported it. 18 years later, one of them has finally come forward. His account has now reached the FBI and it lines up closely with the silent black craft described in a Pentagon file released just several weeks ago. He also explains who kept him quiet for so long and the same pressure may be keeping many witnesses silent. Ryan Graves has a new number that shows how many that might actually be. Hey Ufologists, I'm Christina Gomez and this is your UFO News Update. Logan Labby is a former Air Force Security Forces airman who was just on a new episode of Ryan Graves' Safe Aerospace podcast. He describes a V-shaped craft he watched through the night with vision goggles while guarding the restricted area at an Air Force base in Colorado. And his account went straight to the FBI. Labby filed a report on the Americans for Safe Aerospace website after hearing Graves tell veterans on Joe Rogan's podcast to come forward. And the process was decently simple. He addressed exactly what happened. An ASA investigator called him back for a video interview and that investigator asked whether he would speak to the FBI. He was warned his case might be a little too old to interest them, but of course it actually wasn't. Labby sat with the FBI and here is how he explained it. How did you find your interactions with the FBI in that process? Yeah, it was very pleasant. It wasn't intimidating. Thank you. You know, they, they don't make you feel like a weirdo, you know, like you're some crazy loon, tell them some story. And, and, uh, it's very accommodating. You guys have been extremely accommodating, but the FBI part of it was, you know, same as it was with Kason. And I just explained to them the incident as I had private, uh, previously with Kason and previously as I had reported it. And, uh, it was just a short, maybe 30 minute, 45 minute interview, I think. And, And they said, hey, thanks for the information. Let us do our thing with this. Labby admitted he hesitated before agreeing, wondering if he might be revealing something he shouldn't. And according to him, at no point did he feel like he was under investigation. And that's a very different experience from what Matthew Brown and Dylan Borland have described links with the ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Labby's experience also fits with what Graves told News Nation, that as he understands it, an FBI working group has been looking into UAP reports since about 2020 and works with ASA on cases tied to national security. Labby is one of a growing staff of witnesses, and ASA has collected more than a thousand first-hand reports by late 2025, at least according to the group. And then And then on this particular episode, Graves gave even a newer figure The first 15 days of October, we received about 70 reports at Americans for Safe Aerospace. Every time we publish more and more and more. Yeah. It's been incredible. You know, not just, hey, I saw a light in the sky, but, you know, very detailed reports from incredible people like yourself. That works out to nearly five reports a day. And Graves believes each public account pulls in more witnesses from the same bases and regions. And he still thinks the reports they get are only a small share of what people actually see. Labby's sighting is from 2008, but government records released in the last two weeks describe something very similar to what he saw. On October 23rd, the Pentagon published the seventh batch of records under PURSUE. And among the 28 documents are an FBI statement and a memo from Arrow. About a sighting in June of 2026, federal agents at an observation post near a sensitive site in the western U.S. watched a matte black triangle hover in total silence and then race away. A search the next morning turned up no wreckage and no marks on the ground. The location and date are redacted, and a triangle is not quite a V-shape, but still both cases share trained security personnel, a protected federal site, a dark angular craft and no sound. The difference is that the 2026 sighting went into a file that same week. Labby's took 18 years. And here is what the FBI heard. In spring or summer of 2008, around 9 or 10 at night, Labby checked out night vision goggles with his weapon at the start of his shift. He wanted to look at the stars from the darkest spot inside the restricted area. His patrol leader, a staff sergeant, and a third patrolman After about an hour of seeing nothing, he lifted his goggles again, looked up, and saw something to his left. Just, just the wings. There was no, um, there was no body of the craft, like a, like a F-117 or B-2, you know, there's, they have the swept wings, but they, but you know, there's a fuselage and there's everything going on in the cockpit. It just looked like two, like things, two wings coming together. Correct. Yeah. If you were one of those three guards, would you have called it over the radio knowing it could cost you a clearance? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. And the craft had six or seven large round lights around the underside and was moving slowly from southwest to northeast at about a thousand feet. All three men passed the goggles around and saw it. But when Labby lowered the goggles, there was only an empty sky. They just, you know, sort of appeared the same color as a streetlight, basically. No crazy color to them or anything. Yeah. But they were large and circular, and they weren't casting any light down whatsoever. Night vision goggles pick up near-infrared light that human eyes can't see. The military aircraft carry infrared lights for exactly that reason, and that could explain why the light showed up only through the goggles. But it doesn't explain why light's that bright, that low, but no glow on the ground, or why there was no engine noise at all. So there's still a few questions. Graves asked Labby to hold out his arm and compare the craft to something similar, and he chose a loaf of bread, a loaf at arm's length, cover about 25 degrees of the sky. At 1,000 feet, that's more than 400 feet wingtip to wingtip. The Air Force's largest plane, the C-5 Galaxy, has a wingspan of about 223 feet. If Labby's altitude estimate is close, this craft was nearly twice that size. And if you want these updates every day, please subscribe.

We're guarding priority level one resources, and that required some of us to have advanced clearances. Thank you. none of us were interested in losing that. According to Labby, the craft passed directly over equipment the guards had been ordered to protect at any cost. And that Air Force controls more than 170 defense warning, navigation, and communication satellites. Peterson, the Air Force Academy, and Cheyenne Mountain, home of NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, are all within a short drive of this base. But something larger than any plane in the Air Force cross that cluster. three armed guards watched it happen and the clearances meant to protect those sites are what kept it off the record. Labby now sees it in very plain terms as to what really happened. I didn't do my job that night, right? I seen something and I didn't report it. Mm-hmm. And that's a security failure. That's a big security failure, especially. Especially, um... Graves added a point that applies either way. If the craft was a foreign stealth aircraft, it flew over ground stations that talk to American satellites. Satellites. If. If it was something else, its interest in that equipment is worth knowing. But Labby also looked for similar cases ever since. And the closest match he found is an older case. We've seen things and we know that it's not, you know, so whatever happened in Phoenix in 97, I would say that craft is most likely. On March 13, 1997, thousands of people across Arizona reported a huge, silent V moving slowly overhead. And of course, here we're referring to the Phoenix Lights. The military later tied a second set of lights that night to flares from a training exercise. But many witnesses hold that earlier V-shaped object was moving very different. Labby didn't claim to know where his craft came from, but he goes back and forth between his planet and somewhere else, and he allows that it could be a secret program with some kind of cloaking technology. What he will not move on is that it didn't look like anything he had ever seen in the Air Force fleet, then or since. Should reports like Labby's go to the FBI, to Aero, or to outside groups like ASA first? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. And for more on pilot UFO encounters, former Marine fighter pilot Benjamin Reed nearly hit an object the size of a 737 over Houston, then kept quiet out of fear for his job. So make sure to watch this video next. I'm Christina Gomez. That is it for today. I will see you again next time for another UFO News update. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
