Kenya Air Force Eldoret Triangle 2003

On April 17, 2003, Eldoret International Airport air traffic control detected an unidentified radar return over the airport perimeter at low altitude. Simultaneously, Kenya Air Force personnel at the Laikipia Air Base corridor reported a large silent triangular craft hovering over the base perimeter. Military communications on VHF and UHF frequencies experienced jamming that cleared when the object departed. Civilian witnesses in Eldoret reported a craft with white corner lights and a blinking central red light. The US Embassy in Nairobi received a Kenya Air Force duty officer report and forwarded a summary to the Defense Intelligence Agency. No official investigation was published by Kenyan authorities, but internal military correspondence obtained through regional researchers documented the communications interference as formally noted in the base log. The Eldoret encounter is considered the most documented East African military UAP case.
