History

The concept of the TR-3B emerged in the late 20th century, popularized by conspiracy theorists who claimed it was developed under a highly classified 'black budget' program. It is often alleged to have been tested at locations like Area 51 during the 1980s and 1990s. Despite numerous alleged sightings of triangular UFOs, the U.S. government has never acknowledged the existence of the TR-3B, and it remains entirely speculative with no verified service history.
