Pentagon releases second batch of UFO files, with more videos and documents
The release adds videos, audio files and historical records, and officials said the cases remain unresolved because the data is incomplete.
- On May 8, the Pentagon released more than 50 previously classified videos and documents related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, bringing total UAP-related files released to over 200.
- President Trump directed the disclosure for "Complete and Maximum Transparency," claiming "previous Administrations have failed to be transparent" and that with these "Documents and Videos, the people can decide for themselves."
- Released footage includes a 2024 U.S. Coast Guard infrared video showing an object near a plane, a 2021 clip labeled "Syrian UAP instant acceleration," and a 2020 U.S. Central Command video depicting a sphere over a population center.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated, "It's time the American people see it for themselves," while the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office found no evidence of extraterrestrial origins, admitting many incidents remain "unresolved."
- Historical records include documentation of 209 sightings of "green orbs," "discs," and "fireballs" reported near a top secret facility in Sandia, New Mexico, between 1948 and 1950, among 222 total files released.
