Pentagon releases second batch of UFO videos and first-hand testimony | UFOs
The Pentagon released a statement on Friday. second slice a series that fueled unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) – or UFOs – videos and documents that answered few questions about the existence of alien life, but quickly became a ratings winner for the White House.
The first dossier to emerge earlier this month, a collection of 162 previously secret or rarely seen files on UAP sightings, has received more than a billion hits on the government website set up to house them, according to a report. Press release from the war department, the Trump administration’s preferred term for the Department of Defense.
Friday’s release, which also goes back decades, includes 50 more videos and documents, including firsthand accounts from civilians and military members.
Inside a video In 2019, three UAPs from the Middle East “possibly from an infrared sensor on a U.S. military platform operating within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility” were captured flying steadily over the Persian Gulf, according to the Pentagon.
Another formation four unidentified objects In a video from 2022, he is seen flying past ships off the coast of Iran.
A mysterious object is seen in images taken in Syria in 2021 run away quickly It’s like instantaneous warp speed in science fiction movies.
Few of the objects appear to resemble flying saucers, discs, or other traditionally perceived forms for UAP, but in a clip shot at an undisclosed location in October 2022 cigar shaped entity They are racing through what appears to be a residential area.
None of the videos are accompanied by descriptions, and the Pentagon’s all-domain anomaly resolution office (AARO) has previously stated that there is no evidence of extraterrestrial origin for any of the thousands of objects seen in the video or described in written testimony.
The defense ministry said in a statement on May 8 that the public “can ultimately make its own decision about the information in these files.”
Additionally, information is compiled from a wide variety of sources, including government agencies including various military branches, the FBI, the state department, and NASA. “Many of these materials lack a proven chain of custody,” the Pentagon states.
Even so, Friday’s announcement is likely to spark further debate about an issue that has fascinated humanity for generations and led to decades-long conspiracy theories about government cover-ups and the secrecy of what they knew.
Donald Trump in February directed the broadcast He noted that there was “tremendous interest” in the subject, citing government files on UAP and the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but added that he personally did not know whether aliens were real.
Polls show most Americans I believe aliens existand half think they’ve visited Earth.
The Pentagon said Friday it was working on a third version of the UAP files, which it said would be released “in the near future.”
New NASA records that include astronauts’ descriptions of mysterious objects and bright lights, similar to those reported by Apollo 11 crew member Buzz Aldrin in an initial broadcast this month, fall into the second group.
Inside a clipWally Schirra, the sole astronaut aboard Mercury-Atlas 8, which orbited the Earth six times in October 1962, told mission control that he saw “small white objects drifting and appearing to come from the capsule itself.”
He also mentioned a burst of light in the window, the source of which he could not identify, but noted that it occurred just as the sun was passing below the horizon.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on his YouTube channel StarTalkHe said the inclusion of NASA files in Pentagon releases was “somewhat misleading.”
“NASA is spending time in space, and I understand that if an alien is going to come from anywhere, it’s probably going to come from space,” he said.
“But the NASA documents were never declassified, and there was a complete, complete and logical explanation for what the astronauts saw. The fact that these were published side by side with other files where people saw unidentified anomalous phenomena and didn’t know what it was, then it’s almost a guilt trip of complicity.”
By way of explanation, Tyson told UAP that aliens were “a little bit low on my list.”
“Never in the history of science has the correct explanation been magic or aliens,” he said.
“I just sit back and wait for you to come out of the alien; that’s what I need right now, then we’re good.”
