Trump UFO files reveal drone pilot’s chilling encounter with ‘linear object’ that lit up the sky: Live updates

A document in the UFO files released by the Trump administration on Friday included details of an FBI interview with an unidentified drone pilot who recalled seeing a bright ‘linear object’ in the sky in 2023.

According to the interview transcripts ‘The object was visible for five to ten seconds, then the light went out and the object disappeared.

President Trump, who has been making jokes about the disclosure of files since the beginning of February, released 162 documents to the public today.

“While the entire files are being reviewed for security purposes, most of the material has not yet been analyzed to resolve any anomalies,” the War Department said in a statement. The statement was included.

An FBI memo found in the UFO files released Friday details a witness’s experience with ‘3.5 to 4 feet tall’ aliens wearing ‘spacesuits and helmets.’

This sighting is detailed in a book titled Flying Saucers – Serious Business, written by Frank Edwards in June 1966, and describes a variety of global UFO sightings from Russia to Scandinavia.

It was claimed that 1965 was “the year with the most UFO sightings and that they were observed by more than one person”, and UFOs were described as polished metal objects emitting heat and light that burned witnesses who were too close.

Edwards said the people mentioned in the book are trustworthy people such as law enforcement officers, military personnel on official duty, commercial and military airline pilots and civil defense officials.

Most sightings were reported from ‘atomic and missile research areas’.

In the note, it was noted that the author ended his book with a prediction that UFOs would make an ‘open landing’ or deliberate contact with the Earth in the near future.

In a post to X on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency was ‘committed to supporting this continued effort to declassify’ UFO files by the Trump administration.

He also said the FBI “will continue to work 24/7 with this administration and our interagency partners to provide Americans with the transparency they deserve.”

Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett warned that this cache of UFO files would be a ‘drop in the can’ compared to other files that would be released.

“Remember the feds told us these files do not exist and @realDonaldTrump opposes the deep state,” Burchett wrote to X.

‘The initial drop will be big but compared to what’s to come it will be a drop in the bucket. I can tell that ‘Holy Crap’ is coming.’

Apollo 11 pilot Buzz Aldrin described many ‘unusual’ observations during the 1969 mission.

‘I think the first unusual thing we saw was a 1-day trip to the moon or something pretty close to the moon. “It had a pretty big size, so we put a monocular on it,” Aldrin said.

‘The other observation I made gradually accumulated. I don’t know if I saw it the first night, but I’m sure I saw it the second night. I was trying to sleep with all the lights off. Inside the cabin I observed what I thought were small flashes every few minutes.’

He also said: ‘I observed what appeared to be a fairly bright light source, which we tentatively attributed to a possible laser.’

Gemini VII astronaut Frank Borman reported seeing an unidentified object in space in 1965.

“What we have here are many, many particles; it looks like hundreds of small particles going about three or four miles to the left,” Borman told mission control.

‘It looks like a 90-degree path for the vehicle,’ he added.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said additional UFO files will be released after the Trump administration releases a trove of long-awaited documents.

‘More files will be released. More than 40 files to add our request. Luna wrote to X: I spoke to the Pentagon last night.

Many members of Congress praised the Trump administration for releasing the UFO files.

‘This is a great first step. Additional versions are expected to be released in the coming weeks. A second tranche of documents, including additional requested video footage, is expected to be submitted in approximately 30 days. Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna wrote on X: More recordings, videos, images, and investigative materials will continue to be released on an ongoing basis.

‘Thank you @realDonaldTrump for keeping your promise to me about #UFO #UAP transparency. This is a great start,” wrote Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett.

‘I’m grateful to the bipartisan group of members who have been pushing for this over the last few years. The American people have a right to know this. New photos, videos and documents. We need #disclosure and we need it now,” Florida Representative Jared Moskowitz wrote.

‘Thank you @realDonaldTrump for doing what no other president has been willing or able to do. This is a historic first step that I believe will be just one of many. Thank you for taking over the swamp to make this release happen. “You are the people’s president,” Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison wrote.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard praised the release of the UFO files.

“The American public has long sought transparency about the government’s knowledge of unidentified weather phenomena,” he wrote in X.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is actively coordinating the Intelligence Community’s declassification efforts with the War Department to provide a careful, comprehensive, and unprecedented review of our assets to provide maximum transparency to the American people.

‘Today’s release is the first in a joint declassification and release effort that will continue.’

The War Department issued a statement on Friday after publicly releasing hundreds of photo and video evidence of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

“While past administrations have sought to discredit or deter the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make their own decisions about the information in these files,” the agency’s press release said.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth added:

‘The War Department is working in concert with President Trump to provide unprecedented transparency regarding our government’s understanding of Unidentified Anomalous Events.’

‘Hidden behind classifications, these files have long fueled legitimate speculation, and it’s time for the American people to see it with their own eyes. “This release of declassified documents demonstrates the Trump Administration’s serious commitment to unprecedented transparency,” he said.

Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy claimed that the White House left a hard drive containing unseen footage of UFOs on his desk overnight.

“It says AARO files here, which means All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office,” Doocy said Friday.

One of the videos showed an object in the skies of the UAE in June 2024.

‘It is described as an inverted teardrop with a vertical linear mass suspended at the bottom. The War Department can’t say for sure what it is, Doocy said.

The next video is from the skies of Iraq in December 2022. The images showed an object moving from the lower left to the upper right corner of the screen.

‘All of CENTCOM could describe this as a field of contrast. It is also officially listed as an unresolved UAP report, Doocy said.

A third video showed a small, circular UAP flying landward over Greek skies near the ocean surface in October 2023.
