The Pentagon has released another batch of once-classified UFO files, continuing a transparency push ordered by President Donald Trump. Friday’s release includes more than 50 previously classified videos and documents related to unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs — the government’s official term for UFOs.
Among the files is an April 2024 infrared video from the U.S. Coast Guard showing an object flying near a plane over the Southeastern United States. Another video, labeled “Syrian UAP instant acceleration,” was captured by a U.S. military infrared sensor in 2021 and later uploaded to a classified network.
The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office says it has found no evidence that these incidents are extraterrestrial. But officials also admit many cases remain unresolved and unexplained.
One newly released 2020 video from U.S. Central Command appears to show a sphere flying over a populated area before rising into the sky. Another written account from a senior intelligence officer describes two large glowing orbs near a helicopter during a mission. Fighter jets reportedly scrambled, but could not identify the objects. So far, more than 200 UAP-related files have been released under Trump’s directive. The Pentagon says its new public website has already received more than a billion views worldwide.
This is a crucial measure for achieving government accountability. For decades, Washington hid information, dismissed public concerns, and told Americans not to ask questions. Trump’s approach is a breath of fresh air by comparison. His administration is releasing the files, showing the evidence, and letting the people decide for themselves. That is what strong leadership actually looks like.
