Unlike anything I had seen
Washington — The Pentagon on Friday released a new set of files on UFOs, also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena; these include a report from a military aviator who said a mysterious object was “unlike anything I’ve seen” in 28 years of service.
Friday’s release includes a total of 40 files: 14 documents, 19 videos, four audio files and three images. The files come from a variety of agencies: the Pentagon, NASA, the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Energy.
Pentagon published new files on its website UFO websiteIt contains material released under the executive order President Trump signed earlier this year.
What’s in the new UFO files?
The description is similar to past versions; a mix of mostly unredacted historical documents and videos, with other files detailing more current events.
One notable file A report from the Department of Energy details an attack by an unidentified object on the airspace of a nuclear weapons facility known as Pantex near Amarillo, Texas, in September 2015. The document includes an account of two officers chasing the object while the nuclear facility was put on lockdown.
“Although they could not catch the object, they stopped their vehicles and got out. When they got out, they realized that the object did not make a sound. Also, [officers] The report stated that while evaluating the object with binoculars, they could not detect any propulsion system on the object. “After being imaged for 1-2 minutes, the object continued on its way north.”
About half of the files are from 2010 or later, and there are also videos showing infrared images taken by military cameras. Grainy images show unexplained objects and encounters from around the world, including the western Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic and the Middle East.
One of these events occurred over the Atlantic in 2020. The files include: images of a “darker, maroon-colored object, approximately 12-15 ft high,” according to an accompanying description. report Which was largely corrected by a Navy crew member.
“Structurally, it appeared to be a large, slightly deformed balloon, but we were unable to confirm this as it passed through the junction,” the weapons systems officer then wrote, two lines redacted. “We then landed without any problems and returned to the ship.”
The report is known as a “range foul report,” which the Pentagon describes as “a standardized reporting form that the U.S. Navy uses to record circumstances surrounding intrusions into controlled airspace during active military operations or training.”
another one obtain information In 2019, he documented an object that an airman along with four other personnel spotted over the eastern US.
“I noticed an object with flight characteristics unlike anything I’ve seen in my 28 years of performing [Air Force] and the Navy,” the airman wrote. “There was a small object below us that appeared to be traveling at high speed in a straight line in the opposite direction to our direction. I tracked it for ~10-15 seconds before turning on the recorder to provide the attached video. When I zoomed in to get more resolution, the object’s speed went out of my field of view and I couldn’t regain it even at a lower zoom. Analysis after the flight showed that the object was rectangular. “Others with equal or greater experience were also unsure of what this object might be.”
video Footage of the event shows what appears to be an object moving at high speed:
The most recent events described in the fourth set of files occurred in 2025 near China, under the military’s Indo-Pacific Command. One video It shows a military sensor monitoring a “contrast field resembling a six-pointed star” over the Yellow Sea. another one It appears to follow an object over the East China Sea for several minutes.
Historical records include: transcript It is the story of a conference held in Los Alamos, New Mexico, in 1949, attended by leading physicists and scientists, including those working on the Manhattan Project. Conference attendees tried unsuccessfully to explain the “green fireballs” seen above the nuclear laboratory. One theory held that these were meteorites entering the atmosphere, but a leading astronomer stated that “nothing like this has ever been observed in meteorite falls.”
The Pentagon said Friday’s announcement was not the last under the president’s executive order. “The War Department and our agency partners are actively working on the next version of the UAP files,” spokesman Sean Parnell said. expression.
