Pentagon unveils new batch of UFO files
Posted on: Jun 13, 2026 16:05 IST | Posted by: Rt
The Pentagon released the thirdly heap of declassified files on unidentified fast objects on fri. The revealing adds 72 reports, witness accounts, photos, and videos to an ongoing transparency effort launched under a presidential order earlier this year.
The latest release is part of what officials called a “historic transparency effort” aimed at making public government records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the military’s preferred term for UFOs.
Among the newly released materials are reports describing a “potato-shaped” object observed by military personnel, recurring sightings of glowing orbs, and a CIA account of a rotating disc-like object reportedly seen above Harare International Airport in Zimbabwe in 2008.
The disclosure initiative began in May with the release of around 160 previously classified documents, photographs, and videos from agencies including the Pentagon, FBI, NASA, and the State Department. The second batch followed on May 22, containing additional footage and witness testimony.
The effort follows years of congressional pressure and testimony from military personnel and whistleblowers who claimed that the US government was withholding information about unexplained objects observed near sensitive military facilities.
In February, US President Donald Trump directed the Department of War to disclose “any and all information” related to UAPs. The order came amid renewed public interest in the subject, which included comments by former President Barack Obama on the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
Obama later said on Instagram that he did not see any evidence during his presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with Earth. Trump subsequently accused Obama of disclosing classified information and said he “made a big mistake.”
Despite the growing volume of released material, Pentagon officials maintain that the files contain no confirmed evidence of extraterrestrial life, alien technology, or a government cover-up.
Many reports have been linked to mundane causes such as infrared camera distortions, aircraft heat signatures, military exercises involving flares, weather balloons, and classified test flights, while a small number remain unresolved because investigators lack sufficient data to reach definitive conclusions.
