The Encounter

Kyle Knop is an electronics mechanic for the United States Space Force. In late 2017, while driving to work at midnight in Herbitfield, Florida, he saw a large, silent, black triangular craft hovering at treetop level. The craft had dim lights at each corner and moved slowly while remaining fixed in space. After a brief observation, it vanished without a sound. Kyle reported the incident to the Pentagon's AROW office and received a follow-up call. He felt encouraged to share his experience publicly. The encounter has led him to seek out others with similar sightings, and he continues to share his story to raise awareness about UAPs.
