The Pentagon has released a fresh batch of declassified UFO files, with never-before-seen footage, renderings, and documents chronicling the mysterious objects.
Videos show a mysterious orb whizzing over a residential area in the Middle East, and footage of a black sphere hovering over the Pacific Ocean, seemingly vanishing for a moment before resurfacing.
This latest release contains 41 files in total: over a dozen videos, three images, and a score of PDF documents. The oldest document is from 1953, and the most recent one is from this year.
The US defence department uploaded the first tranche of 161 files to their website on May 8.
After President Trump called for the documents to be released in an executive order earlier this year, the Pentagon has declassified hundreds of files in a series of five drops.
Here’s what’s included in this latest tranche:
Video footage captured over the Gulf of Oman in 2021 appears to show a dark ‘cold orb’ moving in irregular patterns. What at first glance resembles a housefly darting across the frame, is reportedly an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) measuring around 4ft in diameter.
Another video, captured by a US military sensor camera at an undisclosed location in the Middle East in 2025, shows a round sphere travelling in a straight line over what looks like an urban residential area.
In one declassified FBI document, a former military pilot describes seeing lights in the sky in October 2023 on a flight between Boston and Dublin. He claimed that many other pilots have witnessed similar events between midnight and 3am.
All of the images in this latest release are renderings, meaning they are artistic interpretations of first-hand descriptions of extra-terrestrial encounters.
