Pentagon Releases More Than 50 Declassified UAP Videos and Documents

A third video from 2020 shows a sphere flying over a population center in an area under U.S. Central Command before ascending out of view. A written account from a senior U.S. intelligence officer describes two large orange orbs with white or yellow centers observed from a helicopter last year.

The officer reported that fighter jets were scrambled but could not identify the objects, and that the orbs appeared to follow the jets. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office has found no evidence that any of the incidents involve extraterrestrial activity, though officials state many cases remain unresolved.

The Pentagon has now released more than 200 UAP-related files. Two weeks earlier, the first batch from various federal agencies, some dating to the late 1940s, was posted on a new website that has received more than a billion views. "In an effort for Complete and Maximum Transparency, it was my Honor to direct my Administration to identify and provide Government files related to Alien and Extraterrestrial Life, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, and Unidentified Flying Objects," President Donald Trump said in a social media post at the time of the initial directive.
